We thought that a BT line was required, but Sky told us that it will be a Sky phone, so no BT line required.

What you have is effectively a "BT line", it's just been unbundled/rented* by Sky so you actually pay them the line rental instead of BT.
*EDIT - I had thought Sky Talk line rental was LLU (local loop unbundled) like their on-net broadband is (i.e. uses Sky equipment in the BT Exchange), but some Googling suggests they use (or at least did use) WLR (wholesale line rental) for landline provision - this is where Sky rent lines from BT in bulk & then re-rent them to the end user (similar to non-LLU ISPs re-selling BTWholesale broadband services).
