205 is the North American telephone area code for central and western Alabama including most of the cities in the Birmingham District. Until 1995, this area code served the entire state of Alabama. It then split to form area code 334 in south Alabama, including Montgomery and Mobile. It was later split again to form area code 256, covering north and northeast Alabama, including Muscle Shoals, Huntsville, and Anniston.1 Area code 659 is scheduled to provide numbering relief for the 205 area but no implementation date has been announced.
