The Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 is factory sim unlocked. Updating would not change this.

Realy?Because the guy ho sold me the phone say that the phone was decodated and don`t make any software change,and the update to 5.1.1 I can`t make OTA because say`s Service is temporaly unavailable.I can make with Smart Swich.I don`t know i am affraid because i need the phone and if i block the sim I am in very big problem

ANd when I introduced the Sim from Telekom Romania is working but i have a notification that say Sim card is not from Verizon wireless

Well he could have modified software, but if it was completely stock then upgrading wouldn't be a problem. You need a Verizon sim to get the OTA. You might also be able to update by plugging it into computer and using the Verizon update utility.

If it were me, I wouldn't update as it isn't really worth the risk.
