New Jersey Bell is the former d/b/a name of the New Jersey Bell Telephone Company, a Bell Operating Company serving the U.S. state of New Jersey. In 1984, the Bell System Divestiture split New Jersey Bell off into a RBOC, along with the 20 other BOCs AT&T had a majority stake in. On January 1, 1984, New Jersey Bell became part of Bell Atlantic.

Throughout the 80s to the first half of the 90s, New Jersey Bell kept it's traditional identity. In 1994, Bell Atlantic started rebranding all it's companys to Bell Atlantic-(state), so New Jersey Bell became Bell Atlantic-New Jersey. In 2000, after the Bell Atlantic - GTE merger, the corporation changed it's name to Verizon, and so New Jersey Bell once again changed it's name, this time to Verizon-New Jersey. Verizon-New Jersey's headquarters is the New Jersey Bell Building, 540 Broad Street, Newark, NJ.
