Area code 848 is an overlay for area code 732 . This means that they serve the same geographic region. Area code 732 was created in 1997 and area code 848 was introduced in 2001. With the introduction of the 848 area code overlay, 10-digit dialing became mandatory on December 1, 2001.
Introduced as an overlay to 732, the 848 area code serves the same central New Jersey area including Toms River, New Brunswick, and Red Bank. Johnson & Johnson corporate and Rutgers University staff are among the callers you'll encounter from both codes.
