Abstract: Let $G$ be a group and $varphi$ be an automorphism of $G$. Two elements $x,y$ of $G$ are said to be $varphi$-twisted conjugate if $y=gxvarphi(g{)}^{-1}$ for some $ginG$. A group $G$ has the $R_{infty}$-property if the number of $varphi$-twisted conjugacy classes is infinite for every automorphism $varphi$ of $G$. In this paper we prove that the big mapping class group $MCG(S)$ possesses the $R_{infty}$-property under some suitable conditions on the infinite-type surface $S$. As an application we also prove that the big mapping class group possesses the $R_{i}nfty$-property if and only if it satisfies the $S_{infty}$-property.
