I don't know, but it seems a bit unlikely, as that would involve a data connection, which would come out of a paid-for bundle. And unnecessary anyway.
The point is, Skype calls from or to a 3 Skypephone don't require a Skype client, but invisibly to the user it's a GSM pstn calls arrangement using (I believe) a version of iSkoot. That's the odd part about 3 making it free in the first place, as it meant they are waiving incoming termination fees as well as outgoing revenue.
And for some phones, such as I think Symbian models and probably others, Skype can be run on these in a similar way. For the user it's like making an ordinary mobile call.
When they first launched this a year or two ago, it wasn't allowed to use SkypeIn or SkypeOut to begin with, but I believe one or both are now possible. I suppose I should check
