New Jersey filed nearly 58,000 Do Not Call complaints with the FTC. Callers using 908 Elizabeth numbers frequently pose as PSE&G representatives threatening to shut off your power, while grandparent emergency calls claiming a family member is in jail and needs bail money immediately are consistently reported across 862 and 973 in Newark and Paterson. Before you send bail money for a grandchild or pay a sudden utility fine, search the number in our New Jersey reverse phone lookup. It might be all you need to expose the fraud.
The 201 area code and overlay 551 cover northeastern New Jersey across from Manhattan, including Jersey City, Union City, Bayonne, Hoboken, and West New York. Callers from 201 have impersonated utility companies to switch energy providers without permission and claimed business owners are violating safety regulations to sell overpriced compliance materials. The 551 code has been used for fake toll debt notices threatening large fines and aggressive payment card phishing calls. Victim reports for both codes are available in our 201 phone number lookup and the 551 reverse phone lookup.
Numbers with 973 and the overlay 862 serve north-central New Jersey, including Newark, Paterson, Clifton, Passaic, and East Orange. The 973 code has been flooded with court impersonators running family emergency bail scams and callers phishing for Medicare ID numbers from health plan members. Callers from 862 have pushed lottery scams demanding gift card payments for fake winnings and phished for IT manager contacts at local businesses.

The 908 area code covers central-northern New Jersey, including Elizabeth, Plainfield, Linden, Westfield, and North Plainfield.

Verify if a call is safe or a known threat by putting the number into the 908 reverse phone lookup.
732 and the overlay 848 cover east-central New Jersey and the northern Jersey Shore, including Toms River, New Brunswick, Lakewood, Perth Amboy, and Sayreville. Callers from 732 have included a harassing real estate caller and utility disconnection scammers demanding immediate payment via mobile apps. The 848 overlay has seen reports of premium-rate text bots and home warranty telemarketers calling multiple times per hour. Victim reports for both codes are logged in our 732 area code lookup and the 848 phone number lookup.
The 609 area code and overlay 640 serve southeast New Jersey, including Trenton, Atlantic City, Pleasantville, Ocean Acres, and Hammonton.

Numbers starting with 856 cover southwest New Jersey across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, including Camden, Vineland, Millville, Bridgeton, and Glassboro.

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.
