About the 862 area code
Phone numbers that start with 862 connect to Newark, Paterson, and Montclair in New Jersey, a territory on Eastern Time (GMT -5).
The code came online in 2001 as an overlay on the 973 area, and the pair have shared one footprint ever since. Because both codes serve the same cities, dialing locally always requires the complete ten-digit number, area code included.
Dialing note: 862 is part of an overlay complex with 973, so local calls in this area are dialed with all ten digits.
Numbering details on this page (service dates and overlay status) are checked against the NANPA numbering registry. Registry data as of 07/16/2026.
