How else was Sam able to get reception 28 floors down within a mountain when Pete was trying to call her? Meanwhile, Martin got poor reception in the same room because he was just a visitor and his phone had not been configured to use the repeater.
The time on the clock there is also a deep cut reference. One that I would definitely not pick up on, even if someone told me it was a reference. Though it’s not as clever or fun as the 38 reference. Hint: https://www.rdanderson.com/stargate/glyphs/index.htm

I thought it was hilarious! I think “38 minutes to try again” would have been even better!
I always got the feeling Martin had great signal, but the other producers and executives didn’t like him.
Besides, you don’t think Sam is going to modify her phone for boosting the signal?
