New Alcatel 5044R idealXcite not updating to latest software

My Brand new Alcatel idealXcite is still on security update July 1 2017 but the newest update online shows September 1. However when I go to ATT update on the phone it keeps telling me I have the latest software already. What gives?

Thats exactly why....  ATT only does OTA updates for phone on active accounts connected to the ATT network.

I have the same problem. I bought my phone used from at&t. It was a loaner phone so it's hard to say what the problem is. Did u ever figure out how to do the update? Thx
