Given that the standard price for calls is 3p/min, what's the benefit of the "All in One 25" add-on if the "All in One 15" (£15) + 200 minutes of calls (200*3p=£6) would cost £21?

I tried asking Three, but they just replied, "Hi Rob, you've not missed anything, that's the correct price of our Pay As You Go Add-ons."

Update:

So, it seems that Three's response to my question was to cancel the "All in One 15" add-on and replace it with an "All in One 20" add-on, which has the exact same minutes, text and data, but costs £5 more.  #facepalm
