Our area codes include:

Area code 205 location: Where is it, and does it overlap with 659?
Area code 205 is located in central and western Alabama, serving key cities such as Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Hoover, Bessemer, Jasper, and Northport. Established in 1947 as one of the original area codes in the North American Numbering Plan, 205 has long been associated with Alabama’s largest metro area and historic industrial core.

Due to rising demand for new numbers, area code 659 was introduced as an overlay in 2019, covering the same geographic region as 205. Today, both area codes are active, and 10-digit dialing is required for all local calls.
The 205 area code represents the economic, educational, and cultural hub of Alabama. Birmingham, the state’s largest city, is a major center for banking, healthcare, tech, and civil rights history. Tuscaloosa, home to the University of Alabama, adds strong academic, sports, and cultural energy to the region. Nearby cities like Hoover and Bessemer continue to grow as suburban communities with thriving business districts.

Whether you’re calling a university campus in Tuscaloosa, a hospital in Birmingham, or a manufacturing facility in Jasper, a 205 number connects you to the core of central Alabama’s progress, pride, and Southern heritage.

Area code 205/659 is bordered by area codes 334, 256/938, and reaches into both urban centers and rural communities, reflecting the diversity of the region it serves.

Area code 251 location: Where is it, and what cities does it cover?
Area code 251 is located in southwestern Alabama, covering the Mobile metropolitan area and surrounding cities such as Daphne, Fairhope, Prichard, Foley, Gulf Shores, Bay Minette, and Atmore. Introduced in 2001 as a split from area code 334, 251 serves Mobile and Baldwin counties, as well as parts of Escambia, Washington, and Clarke counties—stretching from the Gulf Coast to inland rural communities.

The 251 area code is closely tied to Mobile, Alabama’s oldest city and a vital port on the Gulf of Mexico. Mobile is a center for shipbuilding, aerospace, logistics, tourism, and Mardi Gras tradition. To the east, Baldwin County is one of the fastest-growing regions in the state, with beachside cities like Gulf Shores and Orange Beach attracting tourists and retirees alike.

Cities like Daphne, Fairhope, and Spanish Fort offer a mix of coastal charm and suburban growth, while Atmore and Bay Minette serve as important commercial and cultural centers for inland communities.

Whether you’re calling a beach resort on the Gulf Coast, a manufacturing facility in Mobile, or a local business in Foley, a 251 number connects you to the heart of Alabama’s coastal economy and culture.

Area code 251 is bordered by area codes 334 to the north and east, 228 across the Mississippi state line to the west, and 850 in the Florida Panhandle to the southeast.

Area code 256 location: Where is it, and does it overlap with 938?
Area code 256 is located in northern and northeastern Alabama, covering cities such as Huntsville, Decatur, Florence, Gadsden, Scottsboro, Anniston, and Albertville. It was established in 1998 as a split from area code 205 to serve the rapidly growing northern region of the state.

Due to continued growth, area code 938 was introduced in 2010 as an overlay to 256. Both area codes now serve the same geographic region, and 10-digit dialing is required for all local calls.

The 256 area code is closely tied to Huntsville, one of the fastest-growing cities in the Southeast and a national center for aerospace, defense, engineering, and technology. Known as “Rocket City,” Huntsville is home to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, Redstone Arsenal, and Cummings Research Park, making it a major hub for innovation and federal operations.

Other cities in the 256 region—like Decatur, with its riverfront industry; Florence, home to the University of North Alabama; and Gadsden, a manufacturing and cultural center—add to the area’s economic and educational diversity.

Whether you’re calling a defense contractor in Huntsville, a university in Florence, or a hospital in Anniston, a 256 number connects you to the cutting edge of Alabama’s economy and the scenic beauty of the Appalachian foothills.

Area code 256/938 is bordered by 205/659 to the south and west, 931 in Tennessee to the north, and 706 in Georgia to the east.

Area code 334 location: Where is it, and what cities does it cover?
Area code 334 is located in southeastern and central Alabama, covering major cities such as Montgomery, Auburn, Dothan, Phenix City, Selma, Prattville, and Enterprise. Introduced in 1995 as Alabama’s first area code split from the original 205, 334 serves as the communications backbone of the state’s River Region, Wiregrass, and parts of the Black Belt.

Montgomery, the state capital, is at the heart of the 334 area and plays a vital role in government, education, military, and civil rights history. It’s home to Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama State University, and numerous historical landmarks. To the east, Auburn is a nationally recognized university town, while Dothan, in the southeastern corner of the state, is known as the “Peanut Capital of the World” and a hub for agriculture, healthcare, and distribution.

Other 334 communities like Phenix City, Selma, and Enterprise each contribute unique historical, cultural, and economic value—from pivotal moments in the Civil Rights Movement to strong military and aviation ties near Fort Novosel (formerly Fort Rucker).

Whether you’re calling a government office in Montgomery, a university in Auburn, or a business in Dothan, a 334 number connects you to the political, educational, and agricultural heart of Alabama.

Area code 334 borders 205/659 to the north, 251 to the southwest, 850 in Florida to the south, and 706 in Georgia to the east.

Area code 659 location: Where is it, and does it overlap with 205?
Area code 659 is located in central and western Alabama and serves the same geographic region as area code 205, including major cities such as Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Hoover, Bessemer, Jasper, and Northport. Officially launched in 2021, 659 was created as an overlay to relieve number exhaustion in the long-standing 205 area code, which had been in place since 1947.

Because it is an overlay, 659 and 205 serve the exact same area, and 10-digit dialing is required for all local calls.

The 659 area code covers the core of Alabama’s economic, educational, and cultural engine. Birmingham, the state’s largest city, is a major hub for banking, medicine, tech, and civil rights history. Just to the west, Tuscaloosa—home to the University of Alabama—adds academic influence, SEC sports excitement, and a thriving college-town atmosphere.

Suburban cities like Hoover and Vestavia Hills continue to grow rapidly, while Jasper, Northport, and Bessemer contribute to the area’s manufacturing and community-focused economies.

Whether you’re calling a hospital in Birmingham, a university in Tuscaloosa, or a local business in Hoover, a 659 number connects you to the heart of central Alabama—where history, innovation, and Southern hospitality come together.

Area code 659 is bordered by other Alabama codes such as 334, 256/938, and 251, placing it at the center of the state’s most dynamic region.

Area code 938 location: Where is it, and does it overlap with 256?
Area code 938 is located in northern Alabama and was introduced in 2010 as an overlay to the existing 256 area code. It serves the same geographic region, including major cities such as Huntsville, Decatur, Florence, Gadsden, Scottsboro, Anniston, and Athens. As an overlay, 938 was created to meet the rising demand for new numbers while preserving existing 256 numbers—meaning 10-digit dialing is required for all local calls.

The 938 area code covers a high-growth corridor anchored by Huntsville, often called “Rocket City” for its legacy in space exploration, defense, and engineering. Huntsville is home to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, Redstone Arsenal, and Cummings Research Park, one of the largest science and technology business parks in the U.S.

Cities like Decatur offer strong industrial and logistics ties along the Tennessee River, while Florence, home to the University of North Alabama, brings culture and music to the region. Gadsden, Anniston, and smaller towns across the area contribute to a vibrant mix of education, industry, and Appalachian charm.
Whether you’re calling a government contractor in Huntsville, a hospital in Florence, or a manufacturer in Gadsden, a 938 number connects you to the technological and cultural heart of northern Alabama.

938 is bordered by area codes 205/659 to the south, 931 in Tennessee to the north, and 706 in Georgia to the east—making it a key player in the Southeast’s innovation ecosystem.
