The definition for "keying in" depends on the device being used.

For telephones (including mobile phones), "keying in" information means using the numeric keypad to provide information (e.g., account number, spelling of last name, etc.).

For calculators, "keying in" information means using the calculator keypad to enter numbers and execute operations on those values.

For computers with a numeric keypad, "keying in" information means entering numbers into a particular program.

For computers with a standard keyboard "keying in" information means typing in information.
