I just went through a bunch of bs and on the phone with them about an HTC phones ota and they now require an active sim so appearing ally at&t isn't releasing ruus anymore which boggles my mind but for rite now you have to have an at&t sim in or 5 of can go to a best buy and request a samsung experience person to manually flash it

OK it comes from at&t themselves you must have an active at&t sim to push the update and it will start then it can be switched to Wifi to download think of the SIM as a security key to get the update file

Guess your out of luck do this go to XDA root it use lokidoki unlock the boot loader and flash a kit kat rom outside of the us and no at&t network you can't upgrade without rooting and flashing plus it's better that way because the locked boot loader and stock rom have back doors for the nsa to data mine you and spy on you so someone outside of the us with an at&t branded phone will be red flagged like a bullseye
