Sept 1 Checking for updates!

I have a question: can the built in update be done across WiFi or is it provisioned via cell only? I'm always on WiFi here at the World HQ, and the updater runs and comes back No Updates, but I wanted to make sure it was even working across WiFi.

Even when you are on Wifi, I think for the update checking the phone sends a small signal over 3G to authenticate your phone as belonging to ATT. Once it auths, the rest goes over WiFi if you have Wifi enabled.

Call AT&T and ask I think it only works on 3G from what I've read but I could be wrong.
