Multiple area codes over one rate center (205/659) is the overlay pattern: same geography, different first three digits.
As always with US numbering: a prefix anchored to Leeds tells you where the block was issued. The person calling may have ported the number, moved away, or be spoofing it entirely — verify callers through independently found contact details.
