You do not need sccp.conf if you are not using chan_sccp. It has different features(bugs) than chan_skinny, but yes it would also reset the phones (if it supports reload, and I have no idea if it does).
Also if the phone is in a call it will not reset until after the user hangs up. Reloading the channel triggers a soft reset that causes the phone to request its configuration, which may have changed.

Because, I do not have this channel and I have only chan_skinny. Even in the /usr/lib/asterisk/module/, I did not find chan_sccp. Maybe that is the reason why I do not have the sccp.conf file? So, using the sccp channel, will also face the same problem that the phones will restarted if I did reload?
