The 659 area code was introduced as an overlay to the 205 area code to meet the growing demand for new phone numbers in central Alabama. This region includes major cities such as Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and Hoover — areas with strong business growth and a diverse economic base.
A 659 phone number gives your company a local identity in one of Alabama’s most dynamic areas. Whether you’re just getting started or scaling your operations, DialLink makes it simple to activate a local phone number and connect it to a flexible, AI-powered phone system.
Why Choose a 659 Area Code?
As phone number availability in the 205 region decreased, the 659 overlay was introduced in 2021 to expand numbering capacity without disrupting existing services. This approach lets both 659 and 205 serve the same geographic area, so businesses and residents can keep their current numbers while new ones are issued seamlessly.
Cities in the 659205 coverage area include Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Hoover, Bessemer, Alabaster, and Vestavia Hills.
A 659 area code number ensures availability while keeping your brand locally relevant.
