Area code 856
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Area Code 856 is an area code in the United States created in 1997 by a split of area code 609. It now covers southwestern New Jersey, in particular the Camden/Cherry Hill and Vineland areas along with the western part of Burlington County, while 609 covers the areas to the north and east. It is assigned to both landlines and cell phones, but many people living in this area code have a cell phone under 609. The entire area, both land and cell, used to be covered under the area code 609 but due to an increase the new area code was given. New cell phone customers may opt for either 856 or 609.
