Stop iPhone asking to connect to wifi network

There are a couple of wifi networks at work which are used for access to the work LAN. I will never want to use these to connect my iPhone and even if I did it wouldn't get me anywhere as the firewall would stop it.

However, everytime I try to access the internet it asks me if I want to join them!

Is there any way to tell the iPhone that I NEVE want it to ask for these specific networks but keep asking for other networks?

Thanks!

But then I lose the function when I want it.

It's just the odd couple of networks that I'm permamnently around that I want it to stop asking about.

Yup, it's full of people asking the same thing

I don't actually think it's possible to do what I want.

For now I've just switched it off completely.

Get the sysop to block your iphone on the wifi router by MAC address?
