Can I assume you were previously able to connect to wifi with your phone ?? Have you made any recent updates or settings changes to the phone ?? If none of the above, sounds like an equipment problem. Probably need a new phone.

Also, to the OP-

Try resetting all network settings on your iOS device. This is required sometimes IME using them over the years. Often this helps to be able to detect/connect to the same wifi network again.
