No, Sky don't sell phone handsets at all. You just need to buy a standard handset - you can buy a cheap corded handset for less than £10.

Almost certainly you'll be getting Sky internet calls (also known as Sky VOIP) which might be where the 'digital' has come from. But Sky's VOIP solution just uses a standard analogue phone handset which plugs into your broadband Hub, rather than the wall socket. The Hub converts the standard phone output into a format suitable for transmission via the internet, rather than a copper cable.
