Find any 938- phone number in Alabama

The 938 area code is an area code used in central and northern Alabama. The 938 area code covers the northern border of the state, including Huntsville, and extends south along the Alabama-Tennessee border to eventually cover Fayette and Walker Counties, among others. It was created in 1998 in a split from the 205 area code and is part of the North American Numbering Plan.

The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) is responsible for assigning area codes and other telephone numbers across the United States, Canada and some Caribbean nations. The NANP is a system which divides the US, including Alabama, into geographic regions and assigns a three-digit code to each region. This code then designates the area that the code corresponds to and acts as the first three digits of a phone number in that region. In Alabama's case, the 938 area code is used in the central and northern parts of the state.
