I recall once being on a 77W that ended up cancelling in the middle of the night at HNL, and ended up being on hold for at least that long. I could hear UA hold music while deplaning and throughout the terminal from other people's phones. Not sure how much slack the phone system has when up to 200+ people call in less than a 5 minute span.
