Find any 856- phone number in New Jersey

The 856 area code is located in the eastern and southern parts of the state of New Jersey. This area code was created in 1999 as part of the North American Numbering Plan, a system which divides geographical areas into distinct phone numbers. The 856 area code serves the city and county of Atlantic, Cape May, Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester, Salem and northern parts of Burlington County.

The North American Numbering Plan helps to organize phone lines, maintain an orderly distribution of phone numbers, and identify systems with overlapping coverage. This system is important because large cities may have multiple area codes that cover the same geographical area, so the NAN Plan allows users to identify and route calls geographically. The 856 area code is unique to the state of New Jersey, and it is the first three digits of any phone number located within this area.
