We have switched to a new provider for sending faxes to Poland. In the past we noticed that the quality level of sending faxes to Poland was not what we require – the failure rate was above average. To fix this a new provider has been found and the quality of service should be back to our normal, high quality service levels.
We are proud to announce that we have added the cashU payment system to the Pamela and PamFax stores. cashU is a middle-eastern payment system which is also supported by Skype.
We continue to expand the choice of payment methods. These now include WorldPay/RBS, Moneybookers, PayPal and cashU.
What is cashU? cashU is a prepaid Internet payment service. The user can sign up for a free cashU account, which can be funded using a variety of payment methods. Funds added to the cashU account can be used to purchase products and services on cashU’s growing merchant base.
cashU has provided the middle-east region with a key solution for e-commerce. cashU is a payment platform that is built upon and encapsulates the most sophisticated and up to date fraud prevention systems, cashU reduces the risk of online payments and allows for wider, safer and faster consumer participation in e-commerce.
cashU is available in 28 countries around the world. More information at www.cashu.com.
The new year at PamConsult starts with a new employee: Dennis. As this is the second Dennis in our team, we have to figure out how to distinguish them both 
Dennis formerly worked for companies like German Telecom. He will do customer support and administration of our company’s infrastructure from our development office in Ebstorf, Germany.
Welcome in our team!
We are happy to annouce the start of a new PamFax year with a price reduction for zones 3 to 7. As we habe mentioned when we started PamFax, we will pass on any reductions in telecommunication costs to our users.
This change benefits users sending to countries in these zones and also people sending to service numbers (mostly zone 7).
Standard rate savings in these zones are on average 22,8% and our Pro Plan subscribers save 13% (less because we had lower rates there already).
The new standard rates are shown below.
The new Pro Plan rates are shown below.
The entire team at PamConsult wishes everyone a healthy, peaceful and successful new year. We enjoyed 2009 a lot, thank you for your trust in our services and are looking forward to 2010 with a lot of new things.
Based on user feedback we have released an update for Pamela for Skype. The update was released on December 23 but I did not have time to write a blog post due to the Christmas holidays.
The changes in 4.6.0.44 are:
We have just updated mceWeather today to version 3.3. The changes we made:
This is a screenshot of the new style (go to “Settings” to change your mceWeather to this new look):
You do not need to download anything to get this new version. Just restart mceWeather on your Media Center and you will see the new version.
I know the word “Christmasnized” does not exist, but it seemed to me the simplest and shortest description of what happened today 
.
The team has updated the websites of PamFax and Pamela with some Christmas dressing. The holiday season is approaching fast, so here you go. I hope you like the updated header and footer (scroll down the page!).
Yes, it’s nearly Christmas again! So why don’t you take the advantage to send a christmas fax to your friends and family?
We have just added a special Christmas cover template to PamFax:
So this might be a very good time to send a warm and personal greeting to all the ones you love. Perhaps you can also send a fax to Santa Clause. Anyone has his fax number?
Yesterday we’ve launched a TrialPay option to the Pamela website shop pages. TrialPay is being offered by many companies like LavaSoft, AVG, Avira, Real, etc. etc.
TrialPay is the only payment method that lets you get a free product with every purchase. Try or buy one offer from name brands and get your original product for free. For example, you can get movie tickets for free when you send flowers, buy clothes, sign up for a DVD rental service and more. TrialPay uses money from the advertiser to pay for your free product.
You can also get great deals with TrialPay’s purchase incentives. For instance, you can get a $20 coupon from a name brand company just by signing up for a weight loss service. Or, spend $50 on clothing at a retailer and get a $25 restaurant gift certificate.
You will get Pamela Professional (worth €19,95) for free when you try or buy an offer from one of the 7,500 TrialPay partners. The advertising partner you transact with pays for your free product. For example, you could get a full license to a software product for free by buying clothes from one of a retail partners—and the retailer will pay the software company for the license.
The terms of each offer vary from totally free to paid or subscription services. Regardless of the offer terms, your initial product and the TrialPay transaction are always totally free. And TrialPay’s customer support is free, too.
