About the 205 area code
Phone numbers that start with 205 come from Alabama, where Birmingham is the main city in the coverage area. Vestavia Hills, Bessemer, Homewood, and Hueytown fall within the same territory, which runs on Central time.
The code has been working since 1947 and was part of the first group ever assigned. Its reach shrank as 256 and 334 were split away, and 659 now functions as an overlay across the remaining territory, a change that moved local calls to ten-digit dialing.
Dialing note: 205 is part of an overlay complex with 659, so local calls in this area are dialed with all ten digits.
Numbering details on this page (service dates and overlay status) are checked against the NANPA numbering registry. Registry data as of 10/08/2026.
