  The traditional argument for global well-posedness of the mass critical NLS
on $\mathbb{T}$ and $\mathbb{T}^2$ follows from bilinear estimates that, in a
sense, match those used on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Such bilinear estimates generically
follow for small time, or scaled tori for time $T=1$, but a deeper fact holds:
the full gamut of Strichartz estimates used on $\mathbb{R}^d$ hold on
$\mathbb{T}^d$ for time-scales that are much longer than the one that the
traditional $I-$method utilize. We utilize this fact, together with scale
invariant norms, to improve the $I-$method, yielding global well-posedness for
small mass initial data when $s>1/4$ on $\mathbb{T}$. This improves results of
De Silve, Pavlovi\'c, Staffilani, and Tzirakis, \cite{de2007global}. and Li,
Wu, and Xu, \cite{li2011global}.
