List Of Alabama Area Codes
The state of Alabama is served by five area codes. When the first area code plan was introduced in 1947, area code 205 covered the entire state. In 1995, 334 was created for the southern half of the state. 205 was divided further in 1998, when north and eastern Alabama were placed under 256. The southwestern part of the state was split from 334 in 2001, forming area code 251. A fifth area code, 938, overlays 256 as of July 2010.

Large codes of fraud and woe; not understood
