Area codes 334 and 483 are telephone area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for southeastern Alabama. 334 was created on January 15, 1995, in an area code split of area code 205, in which the Montgomery and Mobile Local Access and Transport Areas (LATAs) received the new code. It was the first new area code in Alabama since the introduction of the area code system in 1947. To permit a transition period for the reconfiguration of equipment, such as computers and fax machines, calls terminating in the new numbering plan area (NPA) could be dialed by either area code 205 through May 13, 1995. 483 was added in 2026 forming an overlay complex.
