PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this
prospectus. To understand this offering fully, you should read the entire
prospectus carefully, including the risk factors and financial statements.
Unless otherwise indicated in this prospectus, or the context otherwise

Our Business
Our company has developed an innovative email service, referred to as
"BigString," that allows users to easily send, recall, erase, self-destruct and
secure email transmissions, as well as provide additional privacy and security
through non-printable emails. Similar to other leading email service providers,
in addition to our free email service product, we offer premium email service
products and applications such as spam filters, virus protection, additional
storage, multiple email addresses and secure mail, which are offered in several
different packages at various prices and may be purchased by the users of our
BigString email service. We believe that our BigString email service is
currently the only email service that is recallable and cancelable. This
recallable and cancelable application should differentiate us from our
competitors. We believe that this unique application should allow us to capture
market share from existing email service providers, especially those providers
offering premium services products.
We have filed for a patent with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office seeking to protect our intellectual property rights associated with our
BigString email service. Specifically, this patent covers the BigString
software, methodology and business process for recallable, erasable email.
The company markets its BigString email service to various providers and
customers throughout the world. The company currently has over 500 paying
customers.
BigString's principal office is located at 2150 Highway 35, Suite 250, Sea
Girt, New Jersey 08750, and our telephone number at such location is (732)
359-0270.
Our History and Plans for the Near Future
BigString was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 8, 2003
under the name "Recall Mail Corporation." The company's name was formally
changed to BigString Corporation in July 2005. The company was formed, together
with Email Emissary, Inc., incorporated in the State of Oklahoma on August 7,
2003, to develop technology that would allow the user of email services to have
comprehensive control, security and privacy relating to the email generated by
the user. Email Emissary was later acquired by BigString in July 2004 and is
currently BigString's only subsidiary. In March 2004, the BigString email
service was introduced to the market.
The company recently raised approximately $1,750,000 though the private
placement of shares of its common stock. The company will use these proceeds to
continue the development of its email service through the addition of new
features as well as the enhancement of existing
3
features. The company also contemplates using a portion of the proceeds to
increase exposure of the BigString email service through general advertisements
and other marketing promotions.
