Yes it should work if you have the proper data plan. You can try using this app however that allows you to make your phone a hotspot without a special data plan. planhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.diyphonegadgets.wifihotspot
Hotspot is working fine for me on CM11 and I don't have the hotspot plan!

I use my phone as a Mobile Hotspot quite often on my other phone and just wanted to confirm for anyone wondering it works fine for the One S.
I don't have a tethering plan with T-mobile and the default mobile hotspot is working just fine. No changes were needed.
Update
I take back everything I said before. When I picked up my One S the sales rep switched my data plan and didn't tell me. I was moved to the $35 plan with tethering.
I called in and switched it back to the preferred android plan and can no longer tether the phone.
It looks like T-mobile also locked down the APN's on the phone. You don't seem to be allowed to switch or change them on the stock rom.
With the phone rooted I'm able to use: WiFi Tether for Root Users that you can get at the link below.

T-mobile will usually let you hit an amount and then give you a message that you need to upgrade. The new 5GB and 10GB plan include tethering though.

I have heard this before. I've heard 200 MB is the "courtesy limit". I'll pull down 200 MBs right now and see.
The one s has a block on it.. If you don't have the tether on your plan. it will let you connect but you can't view any web pages but the t-mobile one, letting you know you need to add the option. Also right now you can get it free if you have the 5gb plan. Does not work with android preferred plan .

I have an Android Preferred Plan and using the default mobile hotspot I just downloaded 220MBs from drop box and was surfing the web on my Nexus One that was tethered to my One S
I hope that we can just flash over the international ROM on this phone.
Root it and put ad block. Then it would be perfect.

That's the answer I wanted to hear!
Am I the only one that has been blocked because I don't have the wifi tether on my account? Anyone else on with the android preferred plan able to connect? I did find a work around. a app called wifi tether works great for me
So, just today, my internet was down and I got into trying out the WiFi Hotspot on my phone. I have the T-Mobile 2GB Unlimited data plan and I was wondering if I have to pay extra using the Hotspot. My Sensation is rooted with the ViperS rom. Thanks.

Hotspot works without paying extra for me on T-Mobile NL. However, I think this is different in each country. I think in the US you have to pay for it.
I have unlimited data, but only 5gb hotspot through T-Mobile. I ihave an lg g2 that is rooted. Does anyone know how to use the unlimited data plan for the hotspot abiltiy instead of the 5 gb? I am at my limit and it is now blocked for use until next month. I am ultimately trying to connect my ps3 to it for netflix and gaming. Thank you!

I recently flashed CM12 and I noticed that my data is not working. I toggled mobile data on but it just toggles back off. I really don't know what to do. I have an unlimited 4G LTE data plan with MetroPCS.

There is no need to, T-Mobile includes hotspot usage on their plans. Just use the built in hotspot.

I have granfather plan and hoyspot is not included, that's why I am asking.
Thank you
I'm grandfathered in with unlimited data but no Hotspot. I've been using the built in tether and it's using my mobile data.
That being said if you still want to know about that app, I'll buy and try it.
