| 释义 |
Area code 205 is the North American telephone area code for western and central Alabama, including the cities of Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. It was one of the original numbering plan areas created in 1947, and covered the entire state of Alabama. By the 1990s, Alabama needed additional telephone numbers. Besides the state's rapid growth, the state was running out of numbers due to the proliferation of cell phones and pagers. The supply of numbers was further limited because the state is part of several LATAs that spill into neighbouring states. Finally, in 1995, area code 334 was created to serve everything from Montgomery southward. It was reduced to its current size in 1998, when the northern and eastern portions were assigned area code 256.[1] Area code 659[2] is scheduled to provide numbering relief for 205 area code on November 12, 2019, and that would ease customers from the burden & expense of changing numbers.[3] All customers are encouraged to dial 10 digits for local calls starting mid-April 2019. But after mid-October 2019, 7-digit local calling will be extinct, and callers will end up with a recorded message reminding them. Counties located in area code 205{{div col|colwidth=30em}}
