SMS Eraser launched by BigString Corporation
- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Self-Destructing SMS Text Messaging Application For BlackBerry Phones
Available From BigString Corporation
Also Permits Sending Emoticons & Offers Advanced Grouping Features
RED BANK, NJ, October 22, 2008 � A new Short Message Service (SMS) text messaging application for BlackBerry phones that permits both personal and business users to send self-destructing text messages and pictures, has been released by BigString Corporation (OTCBB: BSGC). In addition to providing BigString�s self-destructing features to SMS text users, the application also permits sending self-destructing messages to multiple recipients through the application�s group feature and sending graphic rich messages including animated emoticons. The new application is called SMS Eraser.
The self-destruction timing of messages is determined by the sender. A message can be set to self-destruct in as little as fifteen seconds or after a set number of views. The message will disappear in real time simultaneously from both the sending and receiving IM screens. Once the message self-destructs it cannot be recovered. BigString�s BlackBerry SMS Eraser is currently priced at $29.95 and can be downloaded at BigString�s website or at one of several third-party global BlackBerry application distributors such as Handango, Crackberry, MobiHand, SmartPhone.net and Youpark.
�Our BlackBerry SMS Eraser allows the fast-growing mobile messaging market to use our self-destructing text messaging and picture applications,� stated Darin Myman, President and CEO of BigString Corporation. He added that �Mobile phones are fast becoming the main source of both personal and business communication for many people. BigString�s move into the mobile phone messaging market will expand both the availability and use of our proprietary self-destructing messaging platforms.�

- Self destructing on the device maybe.
That won't prevent people, such as myself, who have access to ALL aspects of my corporate account.
I can view everything on each individual account, call logs, as well as SMS logs by calling the carrier and asking them to send me the history for such account.
That only protects offending users from prying eyes of their significant other and their parents who probably pay the bill and snoop in their kid's phones.10-22-08 05:07 PMLike 0 - Self destructing on the device maybe.

- If you are able to retrieve the logs of the message from your carrier, you would be able to retrieve the structure of the destructing message (the time it was sent, the person it was sent to), but you would not be able to retrieve the actual message as it never resided in the carriers system.
I have seen SMS chat's as requested by me from ATT and Verizon. This software merely destroy's the message on the device itself.
If this software went into the carrier's systems and removed the SMS from their logs, that's a serious breach of security and one I'm sure the carriers would like to know about.10-23-08 09:58 AMLike 0 -
- and what does this mean for me?
sounds like a program for stalkers and people trying to send spam why wouldn't u want a sms to stay if you sent it?
I smell a bad circuit
and $29.99?

- I was really curious and I tried it as well and it doesn't seem to work. What I also noticed was that my email indicator light would just keep blinking red non stop regardless of opening any new emails. I deleted the program and the indicator worked normally again.10-26-08 08:44 AMLike 0

If a company is PAYING for the device, 100%, what gives users the right to use it for personal use? They should not have a SINGLE right.. but because court's think that because the message isn't stored on the company servers, that it's not company property, even though the COMPANY is paying for it.
So if a company is paying a 3rd party company to host Exchange email, what's next? whiney people complaining about this and sueing because of this?
It's absurd.10-28-08 02:40 PMLike 0
