SMS feature of IRCTC doesn't work most of the times.I am talking what I experience. It may vary to others maybe.But 1 thing I have noticed whether if the tickets are booked PRS or from IRCTC and if they are RAC/WL or 1A tickets a SMS will be received on the Mobile Phone number given while booking with all the final charting status.Even IR is sending frequent SMS regarding delayed trains.
please wait...Translate to HindiSMS feature IRCTC ka kaam nahi karta mahino mein se jyadatar dino ke liye. Main jo feel karta hun, vo main bata rahe hun. Ho sakta hai ki dusre logo ke liye alag ho. Lekin ek cheez mujhe notice hui hai - chahe PRS ya phir IRCTC se ticket book ho aur vo RAC/WL ho ya 1A ka ticket, aapko Mobile number jo booking ke samay diya gaya tha uspe final charting status ka SMS milega. IR bhi delayed trains ke baare mein frequently SMS bhejta hai.
