               BigString Corporation Secures Additional Financing
                      in the Aggregate Amount of $1,600,000


RED BANK, NEW JERSEY, May 2, 2007 (OTC Bulletin Board: BSGC ) - BigString
Corporation - whose patent-pending technology permits sending recallable,
erasable, non-printing and self-destructing emails - announced today that it has
entered into a financing agreement with several accredited financing parties,
pursuant to which it will receive an aggregate of $1,600,000 in financing. The
initial round of the financing in the aggregate amount of $800,000 closed on
April 30, 2007. Proceeds from this financing will be used to support ongoing
operations and fund the advancement of BigString's technology and development of
its business.

"It is our belief that this financing will provide us with the funding necessary
to maintain and refine our existing services and to execute our marketing
strategy to grow our user base," said Darin Myman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of BigString Corporation.

BigString Corporation has issued promissory notes to the financing parties in
the aggregate principal amount of $800,000, which promissory notes are
convertible into shares of BigString's common stock. The financing parties also
received warrants to purchase up to 1,777,778 shares of BigString's common
stock. BigString Corporation has agreed to register the shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion of the promissory notes and exercise of the warrants.

Upon the effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to the common
stock issuable upon conversion of the promissory notes and exercise of the
warrants, in addition to certain other closing conditions, the financing parties
will provide BigString Corporation with a second round of financing in the
aggregate amount of $800,000 on the same terms and conditions as the initial
round.
