When you make a Skype call on a 3 Skypephone S2, how is the call actually conveyed? There is a number in the phone book (Skype
Service +447838333600) which probably has something to do with it, but it is not possible to call this number directly (calls
fail). I have read that it doesn't use the data network somewhere, but haven't heard a proper explanation.

You won't get a definitive one from me either :-)
My understanding is they are carried in a similar way to normal voice calls.
Someone said here that they were 'circuit switched' rather than 'packet switched'.
