question about jellybean upgrade for a used phone

[jaifra78]

If I buy a used Samsung Nexus S on eBay that still has gingerbread will it get the update to jellybean 4.1.2 after I turn it on. And do I need to have cell service to do it or will it happen on WiFi. Any other info that you find helpful would be appreciated. thanks

It will not update automatically, it will ask you, as far as i know.

thanks for answering. I guess I should have worded it better. what I meant was will it get the update to jellybean that was released in 2012.

You should either a be prompted during setup or b be able to pull the ota from the check for updates screen in settings. Failing that you can always flash a factory image for jellybean in less than 15 minutes.
