Urban Identifier
From HowardForums Wiki
Urban Identifiers (more commonly Urban IDs) are the regionally-assigned initial digits of a DirectConnect number (technically an iDEN Universal Fleet Member Identifier). Identifiers assigned by Nextel in the United States and Mike in Canada begin with three digits, while numbers assigned by NII (formerly Nextel International) begin with two digits. Urban Identifiers generally cover fairly broad geographic areas.

Exceptions
Today, subscribers to Mike iDEN service in Canada and Sprint CDMA-based QChat phones are assigned, by default, DirectConnect numbers which match their PTN (personal telephone number). This, therefore, means that any area code in the United States or Canada may also currently be in use as a pseudo-Urban Identifier. Additionally, Mike uses the numbers 403 and 905 as Urban Identifiers, which match NANPA area codes assigned in Alberta and Ontario, for Mike subscribers who need to be assigned to public or private fleets or who do not wish to use their PTN number as their PTT number.
