And picking up a cell signal in his apartment?

Mr. Sbicca says, he missed invitations to meet friends because his text messages had been delayed.
And picking up a cell signal in his apartment? "You hit the dial button and the phone just sits there, saying it's connecting for 30 seconds," he said.

What does the author want to say with the underlined part?
I barely understand its meaning.
Thanks.

It's not well-formed. I believe it means that his text messages were delayed, even though he did receive a signal in his appartment.
