| | NEW JERSEY TO GET NEW AREA CODES |
 | | One method for creating new area codes would split the 201 and 908 areas in half, thereby dividing communities and forcing millions of customers to change their telephone numbers. |
 | | If new area codes created by geographic splits are divided in half every five-to-ten years, it won't take long before area-code zones are nearly as small as many local exchanges. |
 | | Nine of them are in the 201 area: East Rutherford, Fair Lawn, Kearny, Lodi, Ridgewood, Saddle Brook, Wallington, Wanaque and Woodbridge; and 12 are in the 908 area: Bernards, Bridgewater, Clark, Edison, Franklin, Green Brook, Linden, Piscataway, Scotch Plains, South Plainfield, Warren and Westfield. |
