Is there a number that I can dial to get updates on my phone?

[AC Question]

is there a number that I can dial to get updates on my phone?

I used to dial a number on my old Blackberry to receive upgrades from Verizon
Now I have an Android and was wondering if there is a number

Typically, no.

You should be able to go to your phone's settings and then about (or if they have a specific section called System Updates) and it can check for OTA (Over The Air) updates there - It will tell you if your phone's up to date or if there's an update available to download, then you can proceed to download or wait until you're on WiFi.

Edit: I searched Google a bit and did find this method on WikiHow, but only some people have reported success. There's no indication as to which phone and/or provider it works/is supposed to work for though:

See Method #2 on this URI.

Use at your own discretion though.
