After comparing the version installed with the version of the update, I was told  the phone didn't need to be updated and I should ignore the messages - although I was given a link to instructions on how to update the software manually if I wanted. I'm still getting daily texts - everyday at precisely 2:05 P.M. - so I guess the issue hasn't been resolved after all. Very strange. I may update the firmware manually and see if that resolves it.

if its kicking a notification to you then its for that phone. i would go ahead and do it. usually it’ll contain things that update the security of the device and or makes adjustments to how it handles the network etc.
