Open Settings ➔ General ➔ About : Once you get here then pause for about 5 seconds. If new carrier settings is available then you will see a prompt to install it. If nothing is available to install then you will not see that prompt / notification.

You may also contact your carrier to push the settings to your iPhone if a new version of carrier settings is available.
