(such as what the NPA will be, >cutover dates, boundaries?) Thanx for any info. that can be shared! The article I read in yesterday's local paper said that the split will occur 'in 1991'. The new NPA will be 908, and will basically cover the southern 'half' of the current 201 area (for the geographically inclined, affected counties will be Warren, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Union, Monmouth and Ocean, plus the southwest corner of Morris). Counties remaining in 201 will be Sussex, Passaic, Bergen, Essex, Hudson and the majority of Morris. NJ Bell will also start requiring area codes on calls into NY and PA that have been considered part of NJ local calling areas. This will apparently take effect Oct. 2, and free up about 25 exchanges. (all this is from a cover story in the Asbury Park Press of 4/27; any inaccuracies can be attributed to them.)
