Phoneware Edge in Chicago

Chicago is a finance and trading town first, with CME Group, the trading desks, and the corporate towers of the Loop. But it's much more now: tech and food startups in Fulton Market, agencies and pro services in River North, hotels and retail along the Magnificent Mile, and one of the world's biggest freight and air hubs feeding it all. Phoneware keeps those teams connected with cloud voice, texting, meetings, and contact center.

Local service, national reach

You won't find a call tree between you and help. When a downtown trading desk or a Fulton Market office needs something fixed, you call Phoneware and a technician answers, not a script. We built and run the platform ourselves, so the same network serving Chicago serves businesses nationwide. That's how it's worked for over 40 years.

Serving Chicago, Illinois, and businesses nationwide. Call or text 602·445·7777 to talk it through.
