If your new plan gets activated it may run concurrent with your old plan. Att treats these like stand alone one year contracts. You may lose your money. I hope not!

Once you disconnect the battery using the app remotely, you cannot turn the battery back on remotely. It shuts down the systems and I believe the modem.
