Pamela is een antwoordapparaat voor Skype dat afkomstig is van Pamela Systems. Deze software is in staat om een bericht op te nemen of een tekstbericht te versturen naar de beller als je geen zin of tijd hebt om een gesprek via Skype te antwoorden. Pamela is verkrijgbaar in twee smaken, waarvan de Basic-variant gratis te gebruiken is. Gisteren is versie 1.2 van de software uitgebracht. De Basic-uitvoering is hier te downloaden, de shareware Pro-versie kan via deze link naar binnen getankt worden en neemt dertig dagen de Skypefoon voor je op. Hieronder is te lezen wat de nieuwe features, veranderingen en bugfixes zijn van Pamela 1.2:
