Does anybody else have problems with automated phone systems not recognizing touch tone inputs from the iPhone properly? Single digits (like "Press 1 for English") seem to work okay, but if I have to enter a long stream of digits (like a CC number) things always get transposed or something.

It's not me pushing the wrong buttons, because I can see the numbers I've input on the display. And it's not just a few random companies with screwed up automated systems either. I've noticed this at least a dozen times now, and it's driving me crazy.
 
I've only ever had to use a long sequence to one place, ING, and it works fine with them.
 
I had a problem with CC company the other day. Realized I was just pressing to quick.
when I entered the numbers in slowly no more issue. 3 different CC companies.
