And one more question - if the change is possible, can it be done by Twitter, or do I have to call?

IME the 24hrs is a one time thing. If you change your existing ticket you're still only entitled t

the same initial 24hrs. If you cancel and rebook you get a fresh 24hr period.

I'd doubt very much that UA would be willing to change your ticket via Twitter. I would call in.
