in Mobile World Congress 2026We’ve seen some wild devices like Honor automatic phone, Tecno’s magnetic modular phone concept And a The phone that starts fires. But the most curious device I saw was a phone for your pets, aptly called the PetPhone.
The PetPhone debuted in September 2025, however MWC It was the first time many of us had heard it. It’s basically a cellular tracker that attaches to your pet’s collar. Unlike Air signwhich depends on the person who has it iPhone To be close to track and can be Dangerous for petsPetPhone uses GPS and cellular signal to show you exactly where your cat or dog is.
But the great feature is that your favorite furry friend can call you. If your cat or dog jumps three times in a row, it can alert you. Given my cat’s tendency towards independence, I would be shocked if any cat successfully used this feature! It’s clearly an advantage for dogs that they are trying to sell to more optimistic cat owners. I should note that CNET has not tested the PetPhone.
This is GlocalMe’s demo at MWC 2026 for the PetPhone and PetCam.
At a time when unit A The growing epidemicI see a lot of technology aimed at alleviating this problem, in part, like ZTE’s iMoochi robot. Pet ownership has been around for a long time quote Good for your health and well-being. As more people rely on cats and dogs for a constant flow of unconditional love, it makes sense that pet owners would want to maintain that connection even when they are apart, as they would with a loved one or dear friend.
Like other pet trackers, the PetPhone allows you to track your pet’s location and health (distance traveled and activity level). The fact that your pet can initiate a phone call, a feature called Paw Call Me, makes the PetPhone really special. The supported iPhone and Android app has a training mode to teach your furry friend how to call you: jumping on a foot three times in less than 6 seconds initiates the call. This raises some questions.
What cat could do this? How do you explain to your pet that you are on Do Not Disturb mode at work and not scare him? Are there psychological effects on pets if they discover they have a new way to get your attention? Or if you have a dog that loves to jump, how many unintentional calls will you receive?
The PetPhone also has a speaker so you can play music for them or call them so they can hear your voice. The idea is that this can help reduce separation anxiety – something my cat actually suffers from.
GlocalMe’s PetCam records videos while clipped to your pet’s collar. It can also live stream over a cellular connection.
GlocalMe, the global wireless company that makes the PetPhone, is launching a new accessory, the PetCam, which can act as a standalone device that records the world from your pet’s perspective or broadcast live over a cellular connection.
The PetPhone is on sale now for $90 Amazon, Chewy and other retailers. The phone requires a one to three-year service subscription. The three-year plan averages $5 per month and the first month is free. PetCam doesn’t have a price yet. A GlocalMe representative told me that the current Lack of RAM It caused the company to reconsider the price of the PetCam.
