Are you able to download the update over wifi? Or are you able to update via Samsung Kies on your computer?

 

Not recommended to use your SIM out of the US to avoid international usage fees!

Hello @emmbala 

 

I'm sorry for the issue you're having. If you're trying to download an update that is being pushed by AT&T, you can only do that if you're using AT&T as your service provider. Do you have an active AT&T service?

 

Thank you,

Dmitriy

What version software do you have? Go into settings --> general --> about phone and look Baseband Version

 

The most current is N900AUCUBMJ5

 

Also are you rooted?

Hello again @emmbala 

 

I apologize for not being clear in my previous post. In order to receive any updates from AT&T, you must be actually connected to AT&T's network with an active account. Since you're using another provider, there is no way for our systems to locate your phone and push any updates to it.

 

Thanks,

Dmitriy

I believe international roaming is only available on GoPhone for travelling to Canada and Mexico.

 

I would think if you are just travelling on vacation or work, that service is the primary issue, rather than the OTA update?

Come on you know you cant get the new Kit Kat upgrade coming out any day now and being in roaming and  off their network, you know you cant from Kies either since  the N900 Note 3 models are carrier locked. You can search the web after the official release comes out and see it you get lucky and find a official upgrade, purchase a international unlock model or root your phone. You know the bootloader is lock so your handcuffed. Also if the IMEI is reported lost or stolen (blacklisted). Your wasting your time.
