AOL, famous for its dial-up internet service and iconic “You’ve got mail” greeting, announced it will discontinue its dial-up internet, AOL Dialer software, and AOL Shield browser on September 30.

Now part of Yahoo, AOL was sold by Verizon to Apollo Global Management in 2021, NBC News has reported.
