If you are using a O2,Yodafone or even a T-mobile Sim then the phone will
need to be unlocked.

It sounds like the handset has been blacklisted, i.e. reported lost or
stolen by the original owner.

Alternatively, do these phones not need to have the security code entered
before working with a new sim? Or would that be a different message (like
'enter security code' maybe)? Could it be SIM locked?

It would ask for the security code.

It was used previously with Orange, and the OP wants to use an Orange sim
card.. shouldn't be a problem, unless it's blacklisted.
