Area code 205
205 is the North American telephone area code for central and western Alabama including the cities of Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. Until 1995, this area code served the entire state of Alabama. It then split to form area code 334, and later split again to form area code 256.[1] Area code 659 is scheduled to provide numbering relief for the 205 area but no implementation date has been announced.
