Area code 334
Area code 334 is a NANPA area code in the state of Alabama. It was created on January 15, 1995 as a split from area code 205[1] The 334 area code was one of the first two area codes not to take the N1X or N0X form (i.e., the middle digit is neither 0 nor 1) in the North American Numbering Plan, along with Washington area code 360, which began service on the same day.[2] In order to allow people time to reprogram electronics such as computers and fax machines, use of the 205 area code continued in the 334 areas through May 13, 1995.[1]
It covers central Alabama including the Montgomery, Auburn-Opelika, and Dothan metropolitan areas. The original territory for 334 included the southern half of Alabama. Area code 251 was subsequently split from 334 in 2001 for southwest Alabama, including Mobile.[3]
