Reservation without mobile is possible
- Hi I found a work around on how foreigners can make train reservations on Indian trains without a mobile phone. Check a site called TravelIndiaSmart.com and the page title is 'How to Buy train tickets without local mobile phone' Hope this helps . . .Cheers!

Reservation?
- I am a US Resident. How can I make a train reservation online? I do not have an Indian mobile phone, and all my credit cards are US bank issued. Thank-you.

Train Reservation in India work around
- Some websites show a work around but I have not tried it. Your site says there is none. There is another site I saw with some useful information on this topic http://nriinformation.com/faq_two/faq_page98.htm If I do find a work around will let you know. I live in the US and have successfully in 2010 booked online tickets and find it frustrating now. I don't want to enter my information on any website that may not be legit. Ans: Yes, as the website you mention says, it's really hard to find a work around these days unfortunately.

- Difficulty in registering an account Spent 2 hours trying to register an acount!!! and not successful at that. The website form asked for a mobile number and other details. After a long delay the website kicked me out. Tried to fill up the form again and now the website says mobile number already registered!!!!!!!! and the mobile no is mandatory for them and unique for me so couldnt reach next level and there is no provision to reach out and fix issues. very sad experience. Shame!!!

Booking train tickets from abroad
- Oh, it all sounds so familiar: the Foreign Credit Card Problem, the Indian Mobile Phone Number Conundrum ... I've spent hours corresponding with Indian Railways, and the most exasperating experience of all is when they refuse to acknowledge that there is any problem at all, making you believe it's not their fault, but it's you who's to dumb to handle their booking system. -- I hope that was rant enough?

Wrong Id
- I was booking a tatkal ticket. Suddenly asked for a id card no. I gave the id card no. which was more than 6 digits. But an error occurred saying id card no. should be only 4 digits. I was not in a place to think something, so i just typed a 4 digit no..:P. Now, I don't know what will happen. Tomorrow i will update.
