How to prevent phone numbers to be converted into Skype links?
Try not outputting the numbers as a single piece of text. Instead of
<span>888-555-1212</span>try
<span>888-</span><span>555-1212</span>and it will disable skype

This answer is no longer accurate - see Daniel Byrne's answer for more information.
Using CSS only, it can be removed by overriding the styles used by Skype. Try adding these two lines to your stylesheet:
span.skype_pnh_container {display:none !important;}span.skype_pnh_print_container {display:inline !important;}
Skype has taken to adding a randomly generated string of numbers to the end of their span tag, so the above response from Groo is not entirely accurate anymore. To correctly select all Skype tags on a page, use CSS3 wildcard selectors like such :
span[class^='skype_pnh_container'] {display:none !important;}span[class^='skype_pnh_print_container'] {display:inline !important;}the ^= operator causes an attribute selector to mach elements that have an class containing a value that STARTS WITH 'skype_pnh_container' and 'skype_pnh_print_container'
