Originally, all of Alabama was area code 205. On January 15, 1995, area code 334 was created, including Montgomery, Mobile, Selma, and Roanoke. Then, on June 18, 2001, area code 251 split off from 334; Mobile changed to 251, while Montgomery kept 334. Thus, Mobile was only in 334 for a little less than 7 years.

Historical trivia: area codes 334 and 360 (in Washington state) were the very first area codes in North America (USA, Canada, etc.) that did not have '0' or '1' as the middle digit.

In an area code split, or another situation in which all the numbers in a portion of a geographic territory are changed, the area code is changed automatically in the telephone switches and in mobile handsets. Other than that special case, it is not generally possible to change only the area code while retaining the same local number (for example, to change your number from 213-555-0123 to 619-555-0123).
