About the 862 Area Code
The 862 area code is the overlay on top of 973 across northern New Jersey, covering Newark, Paterson, and Morristown. The region's pharmaceutical companies and insurers generate a steady stream of documents that have to be sent with a verifiable record, and fax remains the channel of choice for prior authorizations, claims, and regulated filings. Physicians and clinics in Newark fax patient records to specialists and pharmacies under HIPAA, while law offices and county agencies in Paterson use fax for signed correspondence. With Send FAX Mail, an 862 number runs entirely through email for $12.99/mo, and choosing the number costs nothing.

Within a few minutes. After you sign up, pick an available 862 number at no charge and it's ready to use. Faxes come and go through your normal email, so there's nothing to install.
Fax produces a transmission record with a timestamp that an agency can rely on for filing deadlines and official notices, something a plain email doesn't establish in the same way. That's why Newark's courts and law firms keep fax in the loop. Send FAX Mail sends from your inbox and returns a confirmation for each transmission.
Yes. Faxing patient records over the phone network is a recognized way to handle protected health information, and Morristown practices rely on it for referrals and insurer communication. The $79.99/mo Business plan adds the HIPAA capabilities a covered entity needs.
No. 862 is simply the newer overlay sharing the same northern New Jersey territory as 973, so the two are interchangeable for callers and fax senders. You dial all ten digits either way.
