AT&T has officially discontinued its nationwide 411 service for digital landlines.

With the expansion of the internet's search capabilities, information services from telecom providers have essentially become obsolete. AT&T had made the announcement about ending 411 and operator services late last year.

"Nearly all of these customers have internet access to look up this information," an AT&T spokesperson told CNN.

The move is part of a larger plan to shore up AT&T's business after the service had already ended for the company's wireless customers more than a year ago.

The service isn't completely going away, however. Customers using home landlines can still access operator-assisted services for a fee. 

Other major carriers like Verizon and T-Mobile have also instituted similar practices.
