You have to deactivate or uninstall the Skype Add-on.
In newer versions there is also the option to just turn the highlighting off in the settings of the Add-on.
Here is a link to the Skype FAQ:

Thanks, that's useful to know, but I found I can just switch of the feature by clicking on the Skype Icon, top right in browser. – Scott Jul 11 '10 at 16:03

Just incase any developers out there are wondering who to stop this form mucking up there pages, or design, you could try and insert some hidden code, for example:
<span style="display:none;">_</span>
Example:
01234 <span style="display:none;">_</span> 123123

I also found a page where Skype explains how to format numbers so that the Add-on recognizes them. This of course also helps developers to figure out what to do to the numbers so the won't be recognized anymore: support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12006/… – Turismo Apr 19 '12 at 18:00
