Question
In the finale of Better Call Saul, Saul/Gene/McGill is hiding in a dumpster; he finds a piece of paper from a bandage and it reads:
Hoover Max Extract Pressure-Pro, model sixty
As soon as he finishes reading it, he attempts unwrapped a burner phone, I can guess that this code has something to do with the vacuum man who specialises in helping criminals to escape, but how does it translate into a phone number?
Answer
The piece of paper is the business card of the vacuum repairman. "Hoover Max Extract Pressure-Pro, model sixty" is not a phone number, it's the passphrase to let the vacuum repairman know that you're looking to "disappear" — be extracted and have your identity changed.
Saul mentioned the passphrase the first time he called the vacuum repairman in S04E05 "Quite A Ride" (relevant part starts at 03:42):
Saul Goodman: I need a new dust filter for my Hoover Max Extract Pressure-Pro Model Sixty. Can you help me with that?
A pickup.
How hot? Red hot.
In El Camino, Jesse Pinkman tried to tell the passphrase to the vacuum repairman but does not have the exact passphrase memorized:
Jesse: Umm, I'm looking for a Hoover Max… Pressure Max. Max Pressure. Hoover, maybe it's a Pro Max. Hell, like a — like a filter?
Vacuum repairman: Hoover products are right over there at the wall behind you.
Jesse: Look, I don't remember the exact like password, alright but it's a vacuum thing.
