Alabama PSC 10-Digit Dialing for 334 Area Code

The Alabama Public Service Commission (PSC) has issued a notice requiring the implementation of 10-digit dialing for all calls within the 334 area code, effective January 23, 2026. This mandate ensures that all calls, regardless of whether they are local or long-distance within the area code, will require the inclusion of the area code.

Telecommunications providers and consumers within the 334 area code must adapt to this change by the specified date. Failure to comply could result in service disruptions or inability to complete calls. It is advisable for affected entities to update their systems and for consumers to familiarize themselves with the new dialing procedure to avoid issues when making calls.
