I can't remember if this was mentioned yet, so please induldge me if
it was! The following came from a recent issue of Communications Week:

  New Jersey Bell Telephone Co. plans to create a new area code in New Jersey
come June 8, 1991. Under the plan, the area code 908 will be established
for Huntertown, middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset, Union and Warren counties
and part of Ocean county.

  The counties of Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Passaic, Sussex and most of Morris
will remain in the 201 area code, according to Bell Atlantic. No changes are
planned for the 609 area code.

  Beginning January 1, 1990, calls into the 201 area code will be completed
with either the 201 or 908 area code.
