Proposed
- 659 — Area code 659 was proposed as an overlay for the areas covered by the 205 area code in 2001. The proposal was subsequently put on hold indefinitely by the Alabama Public Service Commission after it was determined demand for new numbers within the existing 205 service area did not warrant the overlay. As of March 2008, the North American Numbering Plan Administrator does not rate the 205 area as being in "jeopardy" of exhausting its numbers.
