Overlay System

Area code 659 operates as an overlay for the 205 numbering plan area. This means that both area codes, 205 (originally created in 1947) and 659 (added in October 2019), serve the same geographic region in western and central Alabama. Due to this overlay, ten-digit dialing is mandated for all calls within this service area.

659 Area Code Prefixes

Our Alabama phone number lookup service will analyze the three-digit prefix of any 659 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:

  • NPA- area code (where the number was originally assigned)
  • NXX - Central office code that locates the specific neighborhood and identifies the service provider
  • XXXX - Subscriber number identifies the individual phone line within that local exchange

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.
