Is there a way to prevent iTunes from asking me to update my iPhone's carrier settings?

I don't sync my iPhone with my work computer. I just plug it in to charge it. Is there a way to prevent it from prompting me every time to update the phone's carrier settings?:

I have un-checked iTunes' "Check for new software updates automatically" setting, but it still asks for me to update the carrier settings.

Hmmmm the message about updating your carrier settings is not an IOS upgrade. It is a tiny little file that your carrier (EG AT&T, Verizon, etc.) places on your phone to keep it up to date with their network.

Let it check and apply it, it takes about 30 seconds.
