Clarifying question regarding speaking times in Spanish using the 24 hour clock.

Hopefully this will be the last piece I need to get a complete understanding.

In some languagges, the number is followed by the word 'hours' and or 'minutes'. In this context, You will recieve a call at 2:25 PM, Monday, February 11.

Would the time and date spoken as: Recibirá una devolución de llamada a las catorce veinticinco de la tarde, Lunes, Febrero once.

Or would it be more like:

Recibirá una devolución de llamada a las catorce horas veinticinco minutos de la tarde, Lunes, Febrero once.

Or would the time be something different, and the date more commonly be 'once Febrero'.

At least in Spain: Recibirá una devolución de llamada a las catorce horas veinticinco minutos de la tarde el lunes, once de Febrero.

De acuerdo, pero "de la tarde" es redundante cuando se usa el reloj de 24 horas - 005faa61, Feb 7, 2013
