Software update: Pamela 1.3

Pamela is an answering machine for the VoIP application Skype and comes from Pamela Systems.

Pamela is available in three flavors, the Basic variant which is free to use, the Standard variant has a price tag but also more options and if you want to use all the options you can purchase the Professional variant. A clear overview with the possibilities of these three flavors is here to find. Version 1.3 is now available with the following announcement:
