Some background on Alabama and its area codes

Alabama's telecommunications history began with its first area code, 205, established in 1947, covering the entire state. As demand for phone numbers grew, subsequent codes were introduced, including 334 in 1995 for the southeastern regions, and 256 in 1998 for northern parts, later overlaid with 938 in 2010.

The central part of Alabama, including Birmingham, still primarily uses area code 205. Meanwhile, area code 251, introduced in 2001, serves the southwestern region, including Mobile. This expansion was driven by the increasing need for numbers due to population growth and the proliferation of mobile devices.

Alabama's telecommunications infrastructure continually adapts to technological advancements. The overlay of 938 over 256 was the first in Alabama, allowing the existing 256 area to use numbers from a new area code without changing existing numbers. This solution helps manage exhaustion of available numbers while maintaining service efficiency.
