609 area code

609 is an area code located in the state of New Jersey, US. The largest city it serves is Trenton

The new 640 area code is being added to the same geographic area currently served by area code 609. This process is known as an area code overlay, and requires a new dialing procedure. An overlay does not require customers to change their existing area code, but does require them to dial the area code and the seven-digit telephone number on calls within the same area code. Also in connection with this overlay, the new dialing procedure requires the inclusion of the area code for all calls between the 609 and 856 area codes.

What is the new dialing procedure?

To complete calls from a 609 area code to another 609 area code telephone number, the new dialing procedure requires callers to dial the area code + telephone number. This means that all calls within the 609 area code that are currently dialed with seven digits will need to be dialed using ten digits, that is, the area code + telephone number.

The same dialing procedures will apply to telephone numbers assigned to the new 640 area code. In addition, calls made from the 609 area code to the 856 area code that are currently dialed with seven digits will need to be dialed using 1 + area code + telephone number. The same dialing changes will apply to calls made from the 856 area code to the 609 area code. Local calls made within the 856 area code can continue to be dialed with just seven digits.

Following is a summary of the new dialing procedures: Call From Call To New Dialing Procedure 609 or 640 609 or 640 Area code + 7-digit telephone number 609 or 640 856 or any area code other than 609 or 640 1 + area code + 7-digit telephone number 856 609 or 640 or any area code other than 856 1 + area code + 7-digit telephone number 856 856 7-digit telephone number.

oh it is incredible how complete this blog is and the energy you used to make it more complete and precise I had no knowledge of these things about the code change since I don't live there and for me it doesn't have any use but thanks for this information
Wow a lot of numbers and these changes it's good to have good information especially for people who are from there.
I feel like looking in a phone book, with so much information provided, thank you for sharing with all of us, happy day
Hello how are you. Yes, a local area number is always important, each country has its area number or code to be able to communicate.
This publication seems to me to be a telephone book that used to arrive in Venezuela when people set up telephone lines. Only today in digital
It must be my heart that I find it incredibly attractive, the amount of work you put into this kind of blog, purely and solely intended to make such a blog - regardless of the topic - rank high in the search engines. Hats off for that matter 👍
A great and very good post full of many details about the code changes that are generated and we need to be aware of
I imagine the area is too large to add another area code, thanks for this very informative post on area code changes
This is more than useful for those who use different types of phones depending on the region in the country
Been a lot of work to make this blog, but it doesn't really interest me that in the US the phone numbers are changed. Is only of interest to US residents.
It is a publication that is worth saving for when we need it, it is important to know the area code changes.
You wrote a whole long publication to get it done so much it took you a long time we value that effort you make
What an information article did you write?. You just have to know all of this about those area codes, say.
A very long and very complete publication friend, I hope to remember something of what I read, thank you for this important information for those who reside there
In the end you give us a lot of information I think first of all we give you a big thank you partner for more content like this
is a very extensive blog, what I was able to capture is the change of codes in some areas and the benefits and changes that there are
New Jearsy has that code, well I will write it down I have a kind of Part of notes, Because I am currently in the United States
I see that the post had some errors? I feel like it looked like a loop, although at first I saw the important information from the area code.
How extensive is this blog I can see what the vast majority read to know more about the area codes of each region
