PetPhone: World’s First Smartphone Designed Specifically For Pets With Two-Way Voice And AI Monitoring

PetPhone, the world’s first smartphone designed specifically for pets, launched by GlocalMe, a leading mobile connectivity brand under uCloudlink Group, was granted an IFA Innovation award at the IFA 2025 in Berlin.

The product is positioned as a revolutionary device in the pet technology market, moving beyond conventional tracking or health monitoring wearables. It enables real-time, two-way voice communication between pets and owners, allowing pets to initiate calls and owners to respond via voice or soothing audio.

This functionality is powered by a global mobile communication module, six-layer accurate positioning, and AI behavior recognition technology. It provides stable connectivity even during walks, travel, or outdoor activities, offering a consistent and interactive way for owners to maintain emotional connections with their pets.

Beyond communication, PetPhone integrates AI-driven wellness monitoring. High-precision motion sensors track pets’ activity levels and behavioral trends, helping owners detect potential health or emotional issues, such as anxiety or obesity. The device also supports social interactions, enabling owners to connect with other pet owners and monitor their pets’ social habits through an integrated family-sharing community. This combination of monitoring and social engagement establishes a new model for emotional and data-driven pet care.

PetPhone also addresses safety concerns with its uninterrupted six-layer positioning technology, geofence alerts, and remote communication features, allowing owners to locate pets accurately and guide them back to safety if they wander off. Its IP67-rated waterproof design and magnetic charging interface ensure durability and ease of use, supporting an active lifestyle for pets.

The device is available for $89.99, and it is designed to combine technical functionality with emotional support, transitioning pet technology from one-sided monitoring to interactive companionship. Jeff Chen, co-founder and CEO of uCloudlink Group, emphasized that PetPhone bridges the digital gap between humans and pets, ensuring they are not only seen but also heard. By integrating two-way communication, health monitoring, and social connectivity, PetPhone represents a new era in pet care, combining safety, wellness, and emotional engagement in a single wearable device.
