Phone numbers with the 732 area code originate from an area that includes Middlesex, Somerset, and Union counties in Northern and Central New Jersey, and Monmouth and northern Ocean counties on the New Jersey Shore.
Area code 848 was assigned to the same numbering plan area in 2001, creating an overlay complex for this region after the pool of 732 numbers began to exhaust rapidly. With the introduction of the 848 overlay, 10-digit dialing became mandatory on December 1, 2001.
Central New Jersey's 732 area code covers Toms River, New Brunswick, and Red Bank, a region with a strong presence in pharmaceuticals, higher education, and healthcare. Rutgers University staff, Johnson & Johnson corporate lines, and Hackensack Meridian Health nurses are among the most common callers.
