Area codes 732 and 848
Area codes 732 and 848 are telephone area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for parts of the U.S. state of New Jersey.
Area code 732 was created on June 1, 1997, as the result of an area code split of area code 908.[1] Ten-digit dialing became mandatory on December 6 of that year. The area includes Middlesex, Somerset, and Union counties in Northern and Central New Jersey, and Monmouth and northern Ocean counties on the New Jersey Shore.
The assignment of area code 848 to the same numbering plan area in 2001 created an overlay plan for this region as the pool of 732-numbers began to diminish drastically.[2]
The combined area of 732/848 and 908 generally defines the Central New Jersey region while 609/640/856 and 201/551/862/973 generally mark Southern New Jersey and Northern New Jersey, respectively.
