MIAMI, Australia; SANTA MONICA, Calif.; and TAMPA, Fla. – Feb. 25, 2020 – TravelSIM, the mobile phone service for international travelers, in partnership with Syniverse, the world’s most connected company, today introduces Data Stretcher as a service to all mobile users who purchase TravelSIM. This new data optimization feature reduces data consumption so that mobile users can enjoy their data allowances going much further.
