About the 908 area code
Elizabeth is the principal city of area code 908 in New Jersey, which also serves Plainfield and Union. The code's territory observes Eastern time.
Numbering in this part of the state changed in 1990, when 908 was divided off from the older 201 code. It later ceded ground of its own when 732 was formed. No overlay has been introduced, so 908 keeps its territory to itself.
Dialing note: 908 was carved out of the 201 territory and went into service in 1990.
Numbering details on this page (service dates and overlay status) are checked against the NANPA numbering registry. Registry data as of 07/16/2026.
