What happens when you go to Settings -> General -> Software Update.
Tell us what error message do you get.
It says it’s updating but will take 22 hours I can’t be away from my phone that long, I help run a company and use my phone to talk to my employees. This phone won’t get shut off will it?
No, and you need to use a much faster WiFi connection to update it or use your computer.
I don’t have a computer and the WiFi I was using is all we have in this small island in Alaska, so I can’t do the update at this time
Then just wait, it won't cut off service.
