PHS or Party Henshu (Editing) System, is given to Cloud in Kalm by Aeris so that he may change his party at a save point or on the world map (given the circumstances).
The PHS is in the form of a
cell phone and rings when the player uses it. At the time in
Japan, people living there had Personal Handiphone System's, which is a cell phone. The PHS in Final Fantasy VII is most likely a reference to the Japanese Handiphone, It is also used in game a few times as a communication device, For example, when
Cait Sith (if not in the party) calls Cloud at the
Temple of the Ancients.
