En este caso hay que utilizar el imperfecto: "Siempre hablaba..."

Siempre yo hablaba con ella a las tres de la tarde

I always spoke with her at three o'clock in the afternoon

spoke in this case uses the imperfect indicative as Pescador correctly states to indicate habitual actions:

hablaba signifying.... I was speaking/used to speak

You would use the simple past in this context: I spoke with her today at three o'clock in the afternoon = Hablé con ella a las tres de la tarde, hoy.

I hope this helps
