orange and locking?

new to the group, a quick scan reveals that orange tend to lock their
phones - and indeed 'customise' them.
my motorola razr in black from roughly 11 months ago works with whatever sim
i try.

did i get lucky or is it only certain models that fall victim?

You probably bought it from carphone warehouse, who are allowed to use
un-branded stock in certain circumstances.
