The region serves as the western extension of the New York City metro economy and home to Prudential Financial and many other major corporations.
Across New Jersey, the 862 area code serves roughly 1.8 million residents in 4 communities — including Newark, Paterson, Clifton, among others. Numbers in the 862 zone keep Easterntime, so a local line rings during your customers' business hours and shows a familiar NJ caller ID on every outbound call.
862 was first introduced in 2001 as an overlay of the 973 area code, adding fresh numbering capacity to the same region without forcing anyone to change an existing number. Because an overlay shares geography with another code, ten-digit dialing is standard throughout the area. It remains an active overlay code today.
