The other area codes laid over 334
Area code 334 does not have Montgomery to itself. 1 other code — 483 — serves the same rate centres, laid over the same ground rather than dividing it. That is an overlay: a new code added when the old one ran out of numbers, covering the same streets. Two neighbours can hold different area codes, so the code says roughly when a number was issued rather than where it sits.
48326 blocks, 4 rate centres, mostly landline
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 334 number and a 483 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Montgomery by area code needs all 2 of them.
334 is not confined to Montgomery itself: its blocks sit across 97 rate centres, named in the table below.
Alabama is split across 7 area codes — 256, 205, 334, 251, 938, 659 and others. By allocated blocks 334 is the third largest of them, holding 21% of the Alabama total.
Where 334 numbers are concentrated
NANPA truncates rate-centre names to ten characters and drops the spaces, which is why Thomasvl is shortened. Names are reproduced as recorded rather than expanded — the abbreviation is the key the block data is filed under.

The largest holder, AT&T Wireless, has 16% of the code.
These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 334 number still reports the carrier it started with. Closing that gap needs a live query against the routing database. How line type is derived.

Common questions
Where is area code 334?
Area code 334 covers Montgomery, Alabama. It is not the only code there: 483 is an overlay on the same rate centres, so a Montgomery, Alabama number can start with any of them.
Is a 334 number a mobile or a landline?
It can be either, and the digits do not say which. North American mobile and landline numbers share the same ranges, so the answer comes from the carrier holding the block. In 334 the split runs 46% mobile, 40% landline and 14% VoIP, so mobile is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 334 numbers?
The largest holders are AT&T Wireless, Onvoy, Verizon Wireless. That is the carrier the block was allocated to, which is not necessarily the network a given number sits on today.
How many 334 numbers are there?
The code holds 5,251 allocated blocks in our copy of the numbering plan. A block is 1,000 or 10,000 consecutive numbers depending on how deeply it has been pooled, so 334 covers on the order of 5,251,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
