About the 973-705 exchange
973-705 is an exchange (the first six digits of a phone number) in area code 973, which covers New Jersey. NANPA, which runs the North American Numbering Plan, assigned it to Verizon for the Newark, NJ rate center. Numbers from this carrier are usually landline 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 973-705 numbers is usually Eastern time. Scammers can also fake (spoof) any number, so a call that shows a 973-705 number may not come from Verizon at all.
