RID Reminder
As part of the work that we are doing for Ofcom Consumer Switching we have to
introduce mandatory RIDs for BT Wholesale Broadband products.
The products impacted are IPstream, Wholesale Broadband Connect (WBC) and
WBMC over IPstream Connect and WBC.
The RID is a three-character alphabetic code which is used to identify the 'Gaining
CP' (the party which has entered into a contractual agreement with the end user for
provision of services).
Ofcom own and distribute RID codes and are currently looking at whether the
format of the RID needs to change. This will be dependent on the volume required
across industry.
What you need to do
Please email bev.bythewayjackson@bt.com ASAP with details of how many RIDs
you think you will need including RIDs for any resellers who have a contractual
agreement with the end user.

How to request RIDs
Ofcom are introducing a new online database system in mid-July which will
significantly reduce the timescales for issuing RIDs. So they recommend that
you request RIDs after this date.
If you need to Request RIDs before mid-July please email
numbering.applications@ofcom.org.uk for an application form. Complete the
form and return it to the same email address. Your request will be processed
manually and it could take up to three weeks for the code to be returned.
