Jersey City, NJ is currently using two area codes 201 and 551. Jersey City, NJ utilizes an area code overlay in which
area codes 201 and 551 serve the same geographic area. The area code overlay which is in use in Jersey City, NJ today was established in 2001 at which time area code 551 was created as an overlay of area
code 201. Area code 201 originally covered the entire state of New Jersey, including Jersey City, New Jersey when it was established in 1947. Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) is necessary
in Jersey City because two different homes in the same geographic area can have the same seven digit phone number but each would have a different area code.
