What is a profile?

Your profile is the place where you store your personal information, contact information and preferences. This includes your payment details, delivery addresses, security and account information. It's important to keep this up to date so you can continue to get the most from BT.com.

How do I create a profile?

You'll create a profile when you sign up to manage your BT account online. All the information you give us is stored in your profile, so you won't have to enter it again when you next visit. This can also save you time when you order online.

How do I make changes to my profile?

It's easy to add accounts, or change your delivery addresses or the way you pay your bill. Just click 'your profile' in the your account area and choose what you want to view or change from the menu on the left.

What is a BT OneID?

BT OneID is another name for your BT.com username. You can link this username to other BT services that need a username and password for example, a BT Broadband Talk account. When you've linked your services, you can access them by logging in with your BT OneID. You can also move between your linked accounts without having to log in again. We'll be adding more services to BT OneID in the future.

Why do I need to keep the email address in my profile up to date?

We need your current email address so we can let you know when your latest BT bill is ready. You can also choose to receive emails from us about special offers and products that may be of interest to you.

What happens to my profile if I stop being a BT customer?

Your profile will still be stored but the online services will be of no use to you as a non-BT customer.
