You're in the 609? I thought you'd be 732/848.

And one point that I forgot from earlier - since it's the beginning of your trip rather than the end, you'll have options of clean clothes to change into before the flight that are NOT your nicest dress shirt and trousers.

(oh boy, tjtenor4 is going to KILL me if he ever looks into this thread...:p)

Central NJ is in :rolleyes: land when it comes to area codes. I live in 908, work is in 609 and my cell is 732. I can count probably about 7 different area codes within about 20 miles of my house.

I'm 30-35 minutes from the casinos. You could always choochoo your way down and I could take your drunk a$$ to where it needs to be. I have to be either out to the fiancee late on 8/14 or early on 8/15 to make my ride to the DC Do, but if I'm needed I'm happy to swoop in and make the rescue.

Yup, 330. It was the only option available with the letters and numbers I wanted.

^^ Sweet :) My cell/home is the same. My bb is 440 though. :rolleyes:

Welcome to Ohio, sdm1130!!

Yup - Mercer County. I have a feeling I'm probably pretty close to the boundary though, just from looking at the map.

+1. It was VERY confusing getting all the different area codes straight when I moved here (a year ago next week, WOW!) - I've always enjoyed being an area code geography geek and the plethora of seemingly-overlapping NJ numbers threw me for a while.

Now, if zip codes are more your speed, check out http://benfry.com/zipdecode/ - I discovered this in college and am slightly ashamed to think about the hours I spent playing with it. :p

Does that mean I have to be an Indians fan now? :eek:

I took a local Houston number and that now gets forwarded to my cell phone. I am keeping my Philadelphia area code + number on it.

ConciergeMike Aug 4, 2009 12:05 pm

It's not seemingly overlapping...there are overlaps. I heard of 732 homes that had second lines installed after 732 was full, leading to one home having two area codes. Imagine having to dial ten digits to tell the kids that dinner is ready. :rolleyes:

I logged into PayPal on a whim and forgot that there was $165 sitting there. :D

Broward County itself has 2 area codes - just for one county.:eek: I believe Manhattan has 3 or 4 area codes.:confused:

10 digit dialing is already required in the area unless you are dialing within your prefix. It's not that way down in your area?

Negative. Everything within 609 does not require a 609. I'm guessing it's because we don't have an overlapping code (yet) this far south.
