About the 862-231 exchange

862-231 is an exchange (the first six digits of a phone number) in area code 862, which covers New Jersey. NANPA, which runs the North American Numbering Plan, assigned it to T-Mobile for the Newark, NJ rate center in 2011. Numbers from this carrier are usually wireless (cell phone) lines.

People keep their number when they move or switch carrier, so this is where the number was first assigned, not where the caller is today. Local time for 862-231 numbers is usually Eastern time. Scammers can also fake (spoof) any number, so a call that shows a 862-231 number may not come from T-Mobile at all.
