How to connect your clock to the internet?

What happens if I stop paying my membership?

Your clock will no longer be able to receive communications 30 days following your last payments. It will become offline. It will continue to display all communications scheduled for the next 10 days. However, you won't be able to follow the status of your communications in your mobile app.
