Chicago imposes largest 911 fee in the nation – Center Square

"On Jan. 1st, 2018, the surcharge for 911 calls went from $3.90 to $5.00," Justin Carlson, of the Illinois Policy Institute, said. "The reason it was implemented was to update and modernize the city's 911 system." Even with the improvements made to the systems paid for with taxpayer fees, Chicago police officers still struggle to respond to calls in a timely manner.

The only negative of leaving IL is having to keep our 630 area code for our cell phones and paying the exorbitant IL cell phone fees. So many friends, businesses, etc. contact us via our cell phones that it would be chaos if it were changed. So even though we’re out of IL, it still finds a way to get into our bank accounts.
