History of 256 area code

Area code 256 is the major area code established on March 23, 1998. It was split from area code 205. This telephone number plan code serves the northern part of Alabama together with other eastern parts of the State counting Huntsville Metropolitan Area, Decatur Metropolitan Area, The Shoals, Gadsden Metropolitan Statistical Area, and the Anniston-Oxford Metropolitan Area.

The Alabama Public service commission proclaimed that area code 938 would be added with the current 256 area code in March 2009. On November 7, 2009, ten-digit dialing was executed in the area and was used on June 5, 2010 as a replacement for dialing seven-digits.
