About area code 205
Area code 205 is one of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) codes serving Alabama. In the NANP a full number looks like +1 (205) NXX-XXXX: the +1 is the country code for the US and Canada, 205 is the area code, and the remaining seven digits identify the specific line. A call is charged by your own carrier's plan, not by the area code itself.
