Area code 205 covers the western and central portions of the state of Alabama.
Area code 659 was added as an overlay to area code 205 in October 2019. This overlay means that both area codes serve the same geographic region. As a result, ten-digit dialing is required for all calls within this area.
Area code 205 is a general purpose code which was placed in service on January 1, 1947.
Our Alabama phone number lookup service will analyze the three-digit prefix of any 205 area code phone number and will show which telecommunications company and rate center it was initially assigned to. This prefix code data may help to determine the U.S. carrier, Alabama geographic region, and local calling area associated with the phone number.
Phone numbers follow the following structure under the North American Numbering Plan:
Understanding the area code can help you determine if a call is local to your area. However, keep in mind that due to mobile number portability and VoIP services, the caller may be anywhere in the United States, so it’s best to search for the most recent phone number details.
