PamFax user base growing fast

Two days ago we reached the 21.000 user mark. This means a stellar growth of the PamFax user base and shows that there is a huge demand for B2B services in Skype. We are currently adding more then a 1.000 new users per week and this number is also growing strongly. We have added Amazon and direct PayPal payments to PamFax which have made the service even more attractive.

In addition the latest PamFax version increases the number of ways you can submit a fax. In the past this was only possible in the client directly and via Microsoft Office. Now you can also print your document to PamFax from any application.

Our next step is to get PamFax officially Skype certified and get it listed as Skype Premium Extra. This means that PamFax will be much more easily accessable from the Skype menu Tools, Do More.

Two things people ask for most are Fax-In capability and Mac version. We are looking at how to offer Fax-In as a subscription and will post an update here as soon as there is some news. A Mac version would be really cool, but the main limitation here is that the Skype Extras Manager subsystem which hosts PamFax is not available on Mac. This is the module that also does the payment with Skype Credit. We are looking at alternative ways.

Please keep the feedback coming and should you have issues please take a look at the forum (which has had a major overhaul): www.pamfax.biz/forum.

Pay your PamFax with Amazon Payment

We have just updated PamFax to version 1.0.39.26. From now on, you will be able to pay for your fax with Amazon Payments. Amazon Payments allow you to use your saved payment method you usually use on Amazon.com for payment of PamFax faxes. No additional fees will be added: i.e. if you have to pay € 0.17 for a fax, only these € 0.17 will be charged on your credit card.

ATM, this service is only available to users in the USA. This is a limitation in Amazon Payments. They are going to expand this to more countries in the near future.

PamFax soon with Amazon Payments support

Amazon Payments will soon be available to PamFax users in USA as alternative to Sype Credit.

Amazon Payments is a simple payment system that uses your Amazon account to pay for the fax. So if you don’t have any Skype Credit but still want to send a fax, we have an alternative for you. The cool thing about it is, is that you just pay for the fax you send so no upfront payments, no subscriptions, no additional cost, no registration.

We don’t have an exact timeframe, but it will not be long. As you see from the screenshot below we’re already pretty much finished with the integration. Stay tuned!
