"Beginning November 14, the Samsung Galaxy S III will have an optional software update to Android version 4.1.1/ Baseband version T999UVLJA via Over The Air (OTA) and Samsung Kies," noted T-Mobile.

In October this year, Sprint was the first carrier which updated the Galaxy S3 with the Jelly Bean software. Recent rumors indicate that AT&T too will push the update to its subscribers in this week.
