OTA updates can be pushed silently by a telco by design even on a non smart phone. they simply are not secure. Only if you get OTA updates from your telco. Even then I would assume it will only get updates from the telco that provided you with the phone. Which could be different from the telco that you are currently connected to, especially if travelling overseas.
Doesn't apply if you didn't get your phone from a telco or installed a custom version of Android on it.
My S3 gets OTA updates, I bought it outright and unbranded -- no carrier owns my phone; however, I'm sure that they could if they wanted to given how easy it is to push OTA updates. Cheers A.
