Will try to call again today - our summer plans hinge on this ticket working out.
Dialing the original phone number the length of the keypress is not relevant, but I believe once the call is connected and you press a key the tone plays for as long as you hold down the key, at least this is the way I recall it to work on iPhone. I also have a (non modern) landline and may have used it for LifeMiles key entry since cell phones are more prone to signal issues on the connection.
