Indian Railways Inquiry made Simpler with mobile.Dial *139#

Indian Railways has came with every attractive idea of Inquiry system based on USSD on mobile.Now user need not to remember all the SMS keywords for various queries like PNR, seat availability ,fare, arrival departure, spotting a train location etc.But this service is currently available with limited Mobile operator like Reliance, Uninor, Docomo and Vodafone. I have tested on Airtel this is not avlabile right now may be they might extend there service but don't worry here is few keyword SMS format that you can use to send SMS to 139 to get information if your operator doesn't support *139#(USSD mehtod).
