Depending on the original carrier, it might only receive updates if used with that carrier, even if it's unlocked. For example, if your device was originally from AT&T, then unlocked and is now being used with T-Mobile, it will not receive those updates as AT&T pushes updates to devices originally locked to their network, and they can't push an update to a device that's not actively registered on their network.

Did you move to another carrier after network unlock?

I thought that eventually the phone will get the updates because it is a Samsung/ Google phone? Also, what should I do to get these updates without having to go back to the original carrier? Thanks

Alright, that explains. In this case, you need to ask someone for their active AT&T SIM card and then check for software update and install it. After that you can put your Verizon sim back and use it.

Well, if that's the case, then why my phone is only asking for software updates via WiFi only? I couldn't ever get it to software update unless WiFi is connected, which leads me to believe that it won't matter much what sim card is inserted. I'd still try that att active sim card solution though.

I have done this years ago with another galaxy phone and yes, with AT&T SIM card you will need to be connected to Wi-Fi as well. The way I did it, is that I went to AT&T store and asked a sales guy a favor. So, he gave me a working sim card and I connected to wifi in the store and proceeded with all the updates phone offered.

If the update situation with AT&T devices as it was years ago, then you might have to do this every update you want to install.

I might as well get an att sim card then, as this could be annoying to them at the store..

You don't really need to update on monthly basis, unless there is really important security fix. Just follow the tech news. Update every 3 months or so.

You want to use wifi because the updates are enormous and if you don't have unlimited data or have the metered setting on then it could be preventing you from using mobile data. Did you try to turn off mobile data and use smart switch to dl the update? After that you can reset the mobile data settings and it will automatically default ur apn if the sim is active and set to priority.

Yeah ur core OS was setup for the AT&T network, there are different protocols that AT&T & Verizon use to operate the basic phone features. It took T-mobile almost 3years to figure out how to switch sprint customers to T-mobiles network.
