Train is the most common mode of travelling long distance journeys in today’s time, as well. This is because of comfort and affordability this mode provides to the passengers. The common people like to travel by trains only, and the people who travel by this mode of transportation will be very much aware of the waiting list that they often come across while making a reservation. It is not likely to get a confirmed reserved seat every time, and in these situations people need to get their ticket on the waiting list, and from that point of time, they start keeping track of their PNR status to check if their seat is confirmed till the time or not.
The PNR is printed at the left hand corner of the top of ticket, which is a unique identification code of the passenger present, which is in the vast database of the Indian railways. This is a ten digit number, which is very central to check the status of the reservation made.
Easy to find the status:
There are many ways in which the PNR status can be checked, and the simplest one is to look for the current status on the net where it is possible to get through the official site of Indian Railways. There are many other websites also, which help to find the PNR status, but ultimately they all are linked to prime website of Indian Railways. But it is not possible always that the internet connection will be at one’s service. There are situations when one does not have any internet connection, and still needs to keep track of their PNR. At this time, one thing is there which can come in handy and that is, the methods of checking PNR status in mobile.
Checking the PNR through a simple SMS may take a little charge, but is a very effective method of getting the current status without any fail. Nowadays there are scarcely any places where people do not find the mobile network, and thus, even in the remote villages it is possible to get the status without any kind of difficulty. There is a WAP service also with the help of one can check the PNR status. One just needs to go to WAP platform, and enter the PNR number, which immediately prompts with the status of PNR.
The process:
In the previous times, there were charges in which people had to send an SMS and get their PNR status by SMS, but these days there are services like MyPNRStatus, which is absolutely free and can be used at any time to keep a continuous watch on the status of the seat confirmation. And the SMS facility is always there in which one needs to send an SMS with the PNR number to 9220092200. With the help of various modern techniques, checking of PNR status has really become much easier and hassle free.
