Default 3 Skype Calls / +447838333600

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'.
