Chicago Businesses Deserve a Phone System That Actually Works
Chicago businesses already deal with some of the heaviest telecom tax burdens in the U.S. The last thing you need is a provider adding their own Compliance Recovery Fee on top. TechWave's recovery fees are $3/seat total — among the lowest in the industry.
If you run a business in Chicago, this probably sounds familiar
Illinois telecom taxes are among the highest in the country. Your '$25/seat' plan invoices at $36 because of the Chicago Telecommunications Tax, state USF, and your provider's own recovery fees stacked on top.
From manufacturers in the industrial corridor to Loop law firms to medical practices on the North Shore, Chicago businesses know what it means to get nickel-and-dimed. We don't do that.
