My Iphone 5s wont update the carrier settings

My Iphone 5s wont update the carrier settings despite it telling me to upgrade it (yes I do push upgrade but nothing happens.) Tried restarting my phone, using wifi, charging to full, read you could use Itunes but nothing comes up, etc.) Nothing works. I use Walmart family mobile and it was at 2.4, it upgraded to 2.41 (which really just is annoying because I have a huge amount of trouble texting now.) So im trying to either go back to 2.4 or upgrade it to 2.42 (as it still shows I need to upgrade my carrier.) I keep clicking it with no luck. Can anyone help?

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.3.2

Ask Walmart why you can't update the carrier settings.

On the phone, while connected to the cellular network and cellular data, go to Settings/General/About and tap on the carrier name and it should update carrier settings. This must be done over cellular; it can't be done over WiFi.
