You've disabled SSID broadcast on the router and the phone can't see it in a search
This shouldn't be a problem with a UK phone but...
Maybe the router wireless is on channel 12 or 13 , US wireless cards will only accept channels 1-11
Failing that what model mobile is it ?

Quote Do I have to go to email profiles and put a tick against the free Wi-Fi every time to stop the 'phone defaulting to O2?
I'm really not sure about that, it depends on the phone I'm afraid.
One thing you WILL need to do if you wish to send from other Wi-Fi networks is to use authentication to the Plusnet mail server ( relay.plus.net ).
I'm not sure what settings your phone has but you need to check an option something like:-
'Requires authentication' on the smtp server settings, you then will need a username/password. The username is your main PlusNet account name and the password is the main account password ( the ones you use to login to the PlusNet portal ( without the @plusdsl.net etc ) ).
You can try the settings whilst you are connected to your home Wi-Fi ( it will still work ) and then you can leave them like that.
