Can my phone act as a WiFi access point without mobile data?

Can my phone act as a WiFi access point without mobile data?

I have an old (Galaxy S1-class) phone running a custom ICS ROM. It has a
pay-as-you-go mobile SIM without data.
I also have a bunch of kids with iPads that want to play Minecraft
together. As far as I can tell, I can't get the iPad to make an ad-hoc
wifi network on its own. If I had mobile data, I could turn on the Mobile
Hotspot feature, connect all the iPads to the phone. I think if I did this
now, though, my SIM would be charged for any stray Internet requests that
are accidentally made.
Is there a simple way to do this?
