I have an old Nexus 6 can it receive the Nougat update over wifi if the carrier cut off the phone?

Ok long story short I am going to pay down my debt. But my phone was cut off by Verizon. If I go to a wifi hub and go online which I can do right now will I likely be able to update the Android Software version to Nougat? Using wifi the phone functions. Yes I made mistakes and intend to fix it?

Yes. You can update. You don't really have to wait for carrier to push the update to you - you can go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota and download the OTA file, and install using the instructions on that site

Can the N6 receive the OTA without a Sim? I believe that is the question.

I have a 6 which is not on a carrier network and it updated on 4 Oct via WiFi. No problems.

I'm pleased to report that it upgraded just fine via wifi so it's running good.

My 6 was being used on Verizon, now sim-less. I haven't reset it or anything. I've gotten security updates regularly, but no Nougat yet. Is it still rolling out, or should I have gotten it by now?
