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.
Area code 659 is a general purpose code which was placed in service on November 12, 2019.
