Philips, 3FM and eBay/Jaast have teamed up for a special Christmas event.
3FM is a well know radio station in The Netherlands hosting the event this year.
Philips Net TV presents a temporary Net TV service for a good cause (http://seriousrequest.3fm.nl/). Serious Request is a yearly radio show of 6 days run by Dutch DJ’s. From a “Glass House” they present the show, play requested numbers (against a fee) and auction off items from well known artists via the Jaast7eBay channel.
All proceeds go to the good cause selected, which for this year are orphans of parents who died of AIDS.
The service will be available from December 18 till the 24th.
Freevoipcalls.org published a list of the 10 best online fax services, PamFax scores second place!
Just now we released PamFax for Android 1.0.3 with some additional automation features to make fax sending even easier.
First of all PamFax for Android will now automatically set itself to the default language as configured in the PamFax Portal. We actually wanted to add this in 1.0.2 but a bug crept in so it did not work.
Another feature of automation was added to the fax number entry. When sending a fax, most of the time you will be sending to a number in your own country. In earlier versions of PamFax for Android you had to select your country code from a list, alphabetically sorted. This is cumbersome so we added auto detection for the country code selection.
Enjoy!
Today we released PamFax for Android v1.0.2.
We made only one major usability change and that is when entering a fax number the country code is preselected to the country set in your PamFax profile. Reason is that most people send faxes to numbers in their own country so preselecting this removes an additional step. Sending a fax quick and easy is our mission!
We also fixed a rare crash bug.
The next version will be 2.0 and will have a big new feature – direct access to your documents stored on Box.net, Dropbox or Google Docs. Stay tuned!
PCWorld posted a short online review on our PamFax service here.
Today we released our first update for PamFax for Android. Based on the feedback collected and further usability testing we implemented several changes:
The login screen was changed. There is now an explanation of how PamFax works and what you get when you sign up.
Once you have logged in with your PamFax user name or signed up for a new account you will see the PamFax main screen which looks very similar to the other applications (Windows, OSX, Linux).
Sending a document is very simple. PamFax Android will now automatically ask you what you want to send to whom. The workflow is the same as you are used to with all other PamFax applications and the PamFax Portal. No need to learn a new application!
We hope you enjoy the update. Several people were affected by crashes in the 1.0 version and these should be now resolved.
The next version of PamFax for Android will have an option to send documents from online storage platforms like Box.net, Dropbox and Google Docs. Stay tuned for the next version!

We have released a server update for PamFax. In this release we have mainly focused on increasing the performance even further. This includes improvements to the website, the server backend and significant speed improvements of the PamFax system itself.
The changes in this server-side update are:
Bugfix: Fixed a button display issue when using Opera to access the Portal
Bugfix: Sometimes a +0 was shown as sender in history list
Bugfix: Minor issues related to Portal login addressed
Bugfix: Unable to delete an unpaid fax
Feature: Added a “Logging you in” message after signing in (PamFax application only)
Feature: Password length feedback provided (when too short or too long)
Feature: Added the ability to add notes to a sent fax
Feature: Full name of purchased products are now shown in the PamFax Portal
A big new feature we added in this release is the “Recommend PamFax” option. We had this feature in PamFax2 but wanted to improve it and make it more attractive for our users. So, it took a while before we completed with this task.
You can recommend PamFax to your Skype contacts (as in PamFax2) and as new options we added Facebook, Twitter, email and promotion via a personalized link. This will enable you to recommend PamFax to different sets of user groups or just place the link on a blog site, etc. And the best thing of all is that for each user who signs up with PamFax we add one free fax page to your account automatically!
Note that server-side updates do not need a new installation of your PamFax application.
We are already working on the next release which will be a “feature release”. Our main focus with 3.0.5 is adding support for Dropbox, Box.net and Google Docs. We will provide seamless integration to your favorite document system allowing you to send any document from PamFax very easily. Stay tuned for more news as we get closer to a release (possibly even this year)!
We hope you like this update and enjoy using our service.
This morning a maintenance task was scheduled, the replacement of one of the hard-drives in our RAID system. It was showing some strange behavior and thus our hosting partner decided to replace it.
At 8am German time the maintenance work was started. During this work the RAID controller completely failed which basically meant the entire system was unusable. This resulted in a system outage as the board was being replaced and the data put back on the RAID system.
We’re very sorry for this outage, it is pretty rare for a RAID board to bomb and it has never happened to us before. We took the opportunity and have upgraded the hardware for improved performance.
Once more our apologies for this issue. Our hosting partner will be working on doing further changes to prevent such situation.
