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 requires, references to "we," "us" or "our" refer to BigString Corporation and its subsidiary, Email Emissary, Inc., and not to the selling stockholders.

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

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.
