More or less... Its a special concierge service with a dedicated button on the handset, seemingly they can organise ANYTHING for you.

"I need a penthouse suite, 10 hookers and a big pile of snow if you please"

Would be awesome

Wonder if you can get it on a monthly contract. Be about £600 a month to get it "free".

Might send him a question to see if its "unlocked"
