Man, their are so many new area codes that pop up with the mass amount of cell phones in NJ.

[bluebird94]

well 908 is an old area code, it used to be piscataway and most of central jersey, until it went to 732...then after that, 908 moved a little north of where i lived and then cell phones, and now i dont think there are anymore 908 #s availible so they created 848 just for cell phones

Back in the day, 201 was North Jersey, and 908 was South Jersey. Then they added 732 and 973, and now I think a few more as well.

If it helps at all, my buddy in Elizabeth has a 908 number.

Lets not forget the dreaded 609....*shakes* Oh, the horror!

My cell is 908 because they ran out of 732 numbers.

Bedminster, Bernardsville, Clinton, Cranford, Elizabeth, Hackettstown, Linden, Plainfield, Somerville, Summit, Union, Washington, Westfield;

I'm sure there are more....

I live in Middlesex, and my grandparent's told me it used to be a 609 area code WAYYYY back in the day before I was even born, then it became a 201, then it changed to 908 (I actually remember when the 201/908 switch occurred, I was very young), then it changed again to 732.

I know a lot of cell phones (Verizon I think) in 201 use 551 since a few years ago
