This has been a common problem from time immemorial.

What I do is call the time-of-day service from the phone company every six 
months.  Even then when you anticipate what the lady is going to say, and 
enter the next value waiting for the "beep", you have an issue of how busy 
your system is, and will that cause another delay.
