A local Jersey City business number with unlimited calls and texts — live in under a minute, right on the phone you already have.

About the 201 area code

The 201 area code covers northeastern New Jersey — Jersey City, Hoboken, and Hackensack. 201 was the very first area code ever assigned in 1947. It covers North Jersey's Hudson waterfront and carries decades of local recognition. For a business, a 201 number signals a local presence — customers in Jersey City are far more likely to answer a call or reply to a text from a number they recognize as local.
