125 anytime minutes £20 / month

125 / 3 = 4.67

4.67 * 60 = 2500

Therefore I can get up to 2500 evening / weekend minutes for £20/month (£10
first 6 months)? And a phone + 250 texts.

Or is my maths wrong?

125 / 3 =3D 41.67

41.67 * 60 =3D 2500

So, yes, your maths was wrong!

But in any case, it is only _up to_ 2500 off-peak minutes a month.

If you make short off-peak calls you can considerably reduce that
amount.
For example, if you only make calls up to 3 minutes in length you will
only get 125 off-peak minutes!

If your calls are between 3 and 60 minutes (or you get cut-off in the
middle of a 60 minute call), let's say you average a 30 minute call,
you would only get 1250 off-peak minutes.

If your calls go over 60 minutes you start paying per minute again. So
you could use up all "2500" minutes with a single off-peak phone call
lasting 182 minutes.

Check there's no excessive usage bar.
