In this case, the 609 code has been Overlayed with the 640 area code. New phone numbers in the Thompsontown area will be assigned with one of these codes: 609 or 640. As a result, placing a call in the Thompsontown area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
