New Jersey has approximately 14.7 million active phone numbers. Cell phones are the dominant type with 11.4 million users, while traditional landlines are in decline with 538,000 connections statewide. Internet phone services account for about 2.7 million numbers.
| Voice Subscriptions (thousands) | June 2023 | Dec 2023 | June 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile telephony | 11,093 | 11,334 | 11,427 |
| Local exchange telephone service | 765 | 576 | 538 |

Therefore, tracing a phone number will likely lead to a cell phone. The decline of landlines suggests that newer phone numbers may be more challenging to trace compared to older landline numbers, which typically had more readily available public information.
Yes. New Jersey does not restrict the personal use of reverse phone lookup services. The state's privacy law, effective January 15, 2025, gives residents rights that include requesting removal of their data from lookup databases. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) prohibits using lookup results for employment, tenant, or credit decisions in every state. New Jersey's NJ-DPA adds state-level rights on top.
The New Jersey Data Privacy Act (NJ-DPA, NJ Stat. § 56:8-166.1 et seq., enacted SB 332, 2024) took effect January 15, 2025. Like California and Maryland, New Jersey covers nonprofits broadly rather than granting a blanket nonprofit exemption - making it one of the more expansive state laws in terms of entities covered. Residents can opt out of personal data sales and targeted advertising, and have rights to access, correct, delete, and port their data within a 45-day response window. There is no small-business exemption.
Under the New Jersey Data Privacy Law (NJDPL), you can request removal of your phone number and personal details. Visit each reverse lookup site and click "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" to submit a request.
Getting a business name from a phone lookup is helpful, but verification is key. With over 237,499 business establishments in New Jersey according to Census data, confirming the company through the New Jersey Business Name Search is the safest approach.
New Jersey has 11.4 million mobile subscriptions, 2.7 million VoIP numbers, and 538,000 landlines.
