 Steven Sokol has posted a recipe for calling Skype Users from a normal phone:
Here's a link to a blog post that details how to automatically generate alias extension numbers for Skype callers.
Since most phones won't let you type long a complex text strings, this makes it much easier to call back to folks on the Skype network.

Excerpt from the article:
One of the more challenging things about using Asterisk with Skype is the fact that most Asterisk endpoints (phones, ATAs, etc.) don't let you easily dial Skype names. I've come up with a partial solution to this using func_odbc, a Skype alias table and some basic caller-id manipulation.
