· You may withdraw tenders of outstanding notes at any time before the expiration date of the exchange offer.

with the private offering of the outstanding notes.

government agencies or other published industry sources and our estimates based on our management's knowledge and experience in the markets
in which we operate. When we rank our customers by size, we base those rankings on the number of subscribers our customers serve. When we
describe our market position, we base those descriptions on the number of subscribers serviced by our customers. Our estimates have been based
on information obtained from our customers, suppliers, trade and business organizations and other contacts in the markets in which we operate.
We have not independently verified any of the data from third-party sources, nor have we ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied
upon therein. Similarly, while we believe our estimates to be accurate as of the date of this prospectus, they have not been verified by any
independent sources and may prove to be inaccurate because of the methods by which we obtained certain data for our estimates and because this
information cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of
the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in a survey of market size. In addition, the provided market data is not a
guaranty of future market characteristics, and actual results may differ from the projections and estimates contained in these reports or
publications because consumption patterns and consumer preferences can and do change. Any failure of the markets to grow at projected rates
could have an adverse impact on our business. See "Citations" for a complete list of these reports and publications. See also "Statements

this prospectus, except to the extent cited herein:

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights the information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because this is only a summary, it does not
contain all the information that may be important to you. This prospectus includes specific terms of the exchange offer, as well as
information regarding our business and detailed financial data. You should read this prospectus in its entirety, including "Risk Factors,"
the financial information and the notes thereto included herein. Unless otherwise indicated, financial information included in this
prospectus is presented on an historical basis.
Our Company
We are a leading global provider of mission-critical business and technology services for the wireless telecommunications industry.
For over 20 years, we have served as an integral third-party intermediary in the industry. Our product offerings include essential roaming
clearing house and financial settlement services; text and multimedia message delivery services; and applications for facilitating network
connectivity between mobile operators. The network footprint of most mobile operators is limited to their home geographies. As a result,
mobile operators must interact with one another to provide the seamless coverage and services that their subscribers expect throughout the
world. Mobile operators rely on us to facilitate these interactions with other operators because of our broad suite of transaction-based
services, substantial technical and innovative expertise, global reach, high quality customer support and reliability.
We clear, route, translate and transport over a billion roaming and inter-carrier transactions on average each day. A "transaction" is
generated by, among other things, an individual phone call, a text or multi-media message that is sent or received, or the initiation of a mobile
data session between different operators' networks. We also have a secure physical network infrastructure, consisting of 14 data centers and
14 network points-of-presence worldwide, for the connections between mobile operators required to complete these transactions. Our
Network services provide connectivity to mobile operators and other telecommunications providers, allow subscribers to keep (or "port")
their phone numbers when switching mobile operators, and allow subscribers to utilize caller identification ("caller ID") services. Our
Messaging services allow mobile operators' subscribers to send text and multimedia messages to other mobile operators' subscribers and
also facilitate text and multimedia messaging between enterprises and their customers. Through the use of our Roaming services by mobile
operators, subscribers are able to make phone calls, send text and multimedia messages, and email and browse the internet while roaming on
another mobile operator's network.
We were founded in 1987 as GTE Telecommunication Service Inc. ("TSI"), a unit of GTE Corporation ("GTE"), to address the
industry-wide need for inter-carrier wireless roaming telephone service. In early 2000, GTE combined TSI with its Intelligent Network
Services business, a leading Signaling System 7 ("SS7") network and intelligent network database provider. In June 2000, GTE and Bell
Atlantic merged to form Verizon Communications and TSI became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Verizon Communications. In
February 2002, TSI was acquired by certain members of senior management and an investor group led by GTCR Golder Rauner, LLC and in
2004, TSI was renamed Syniverse Technologies, Inc. Syniverse Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is the direct parent of Syniverse
Technologies, Inc. In February 2005, Syniverse Holdings, Inc. became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE") with the symbol "SVR".
On January 13, 2011, we consummated a merger with Buccaneer Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") and Buccaneer Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger
Sub"), affiliates of The Carlyle Group ("Carlyle"), under which Holdings acquired 100% of our equity for a net purchase price of $2,493.8
million (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, the common stock of Syniverse Holdings, Inc., is no longer listed on the NYSE. In
connection with the Merger, the following transactions occurred at consummation, referred to as the "Transactions":

· investment funds affiliated with Carlyle and certain co-investors capitalized Holdings with an aggregate equity contribution of

$1,200.0 million;

· we became obligated under senior secured credit facilities (the "Senior Credit Facility"), consisting of (1) a senior secured term
loan facility of $1,025.0 million (the "term loan facility") and (2) a senior secured revolving credit facility with commitments of

$150.0 million (the "revolving credit facility") under a credit agreement with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent (the
"credit agreement");

· we became obligated on the $475.0 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes issued under the indenture governing

the outstanding notes;

· each share of Syniverse's common stock issued and outstanding, including any shares that were issued upon the automatic exercise
of any options outstanding under our then-existing 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, immediately prior to the effective time of

the Merger (other than shares held by stockholders who properly exercised appraisal rights) was cancelled and converted into the
right to receive $31.00 per share in cash, without interest, less applicable withholding tax;

· each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase shares of Syniverse's common stock, whether or not then vested, was

cancelled and entitled the holder thereof to receive a cash amount equal to the excess, if any, of $31.00 over the per-share exercise
price of such option, without interest, less applicable withholding tax;

· each outstanding restricted stock award granted under a Syniverse equity plan became fully vested and the holder thereof was

entitled to receive $31.00 per share in cash, without interest, less applicable withholding tax;

· certain indebtedness of Syniverse was repaid and discharged, including its existing credit facilities and $175.0 million aggregate

principal amount of existing 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes due 2013;

· approximately $158.3 million of fees and expenses were paid relating to the foregoing, as of June 30, 2011, including placement

and other financing fees (including fees and discounts payable to the lenders and initial purchasers in connection with our Senior
Credit Facility and the offering of the outstanding notes); and


· we delisted our common stock from the NYSE and deregistered our common stock under the Exchange Act.
Our principal executive offices are located at 8125 Highwoods Palm Way, Tampa, Florida 33647. Our telephone number is

Services
We provide an integrated suite of Network, Messaging and Roaming services to our customers, which are primarily utilized when
mobile operators need to interact with one another. Most of our customers use multiple services from us, often spanning two or more of our
service offerings. Our primary service offerings are as follows:
Network services. We offer Network services to both traditional and non-traditional mobile operators, which allow phone calls to
connect and messages to be delivered. By providing mobile operators with connectivity to other networks, we allow them to avoid the cost
and complexity of managing individual network connections to multiple operators. Network services includes interstandard roaming
solutions, Mobile Data Roaming ("MDR") services for Code Division Multiple Access ("CDMA") operators, call setup and tear down, SS7
solutions, internet protocol ("IP") platform solutions, database services and number portability services. Interstandard roaming solutions and
MDR revenues vary based on the number or size of data/messaging records provided to us by our customers for aggregation, translation and
distribution among operators. These two services have historically been reported within our Roaming services offering and were realigned
on January 1, 2011. Call setup refers to the process of retrieving and processing the routing information for a phone number when a call is

placed, setting up a channel on which the call can take place and "tearing" down the call upon its completion. Our SS7 solutions provide a
cost effective connectivity to other networks, thereby avoiding the cost and complexity of managing individual network connections with
multiple operators. IP platform solutions enable the management, prioritization and transmission of data between mobile operator networks to
support roaming for smartphones and other mobile data devices. Other network services offered allow mobile operators to provide number
portability and caller ID services to their subscribers.
Messaging services. We provide mobile operators with routing, translation and delivery services for Short Messaging Service
("SMS") and Multimedia Messaging Service ("MMS") messages sent from one operator's network to another. While mobile operators have
routing and delivery capabilities for subscribers within their own network, they do not generally have an efficient way to directly route and
deliver messages to other operators' networks as this would require a direct connection with each of over a thousand mobile operators
throughout the world, as well as sophisticated translation capabilities between numerous mobile standards. Once one of our customers has
determined that an SMS or an MMS message needs to be delivered outside of its network, the message is sent to us. From there, we
determine where the message is going, translate the message so it can be read by the receiving network and deliver it. This is known as
Peer-to-Peer ("P2P") messaging. As part of our enterprise messaging business, known as Application-to-Peer ("A2P") messaging, we
provide enterprise customers with routing, translation and delivery services for direct communication with their customers and employees
via SMS and MMS alerts. Our Messaging revenues are typically generated on a per-transaction (or per-message) basis and paid to us by the
customer on whose network the message originated.
Roaming services. We operate the largest roaming clearing house in the world and process hundreds of billions of roaming transactions
each year. A roaming transaction is generated whenever a subscriber from one mobile operator makes or receives a call, sends or receives
an SMS or MMS message, or initiates a data session, in each case, while roaming on another operator's network. Subscribers typically roam
in places where their home operator's network coverage is relatively limited or non-existent. In order to provide seamless global coverage,
mobile operators enter into roaming agreements with one another to provide access for their subscribers to other operators' networks offering
superior coverage in a given geography. When its subscribers roam, the home operator must pay the visited operator for use of the network.
Through our clearing house, we clear and settle roaming transactions generated by calls, messages and data sessions initiated by the home
operator's subscriber while roaming on the visited operator's network. The information we provide determines the amount of roaming
charges owed by one mobile operator to another. Revenues are paid to us by the visited operator who ultimately bills the home operator for
use of its network. In addition to this core service, we provide mobile operators a number of other value-added services, including roaming
data analytics, roaming agreement management and financial settlement services. Our Roaming revenues are typically generated on a
per-transaction basis.
Other services. We provide technology turn-key solutions, including operator solutions for number portability readiness, prepaid
applications, interactive video, value-added roaming services and mobile broadband solutions, also known as our ITHL business. Our ITHL
business provides software services to customers primarily in the Asia Pacific region.
