Yesterday I saw an advertisement in the Hindu newspaper about the latest facilities in railway enquiry number 139. Calls to 139 from any village or town is now a Local Call. No STD required from anywhere in India. 139 is the one nationwide number for all the rail passenger enquiry. The basic services include PNR Enquiry, current train running position, accommodation availability and fare enquiry. In addition to Hindi and English, these services are available in Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Bangala, Oriya and Assamese in respective regions.
Service available on MTNL, BSNL, Dolphin, Garuda, Cellone, Idea, Vodafone and Spice phones. Indian Railway is working on making the service available on other telecom service providers soon. Railway is also planning to come up with premium enquiry services in a new number. The premium service will include SMS, call back and fax facility.
An Easy Dial service is available at present in Delhi and Mumbai. Just dial 139 xxxxxxxxxx (10 digit PNR number) and 139 xxxx (4 digit train number) to get the ticket and train status immediately without going through the long process.

Hi i called 139 from Airtel and they charged Rs. 2/Min. It’s not a FREE Service.
Hello,
Dialing 139 from anywhere India , you will reach Indian railway Enquiry No doubt.
But if you want to talk with Customer care executive, then not sure how much time it will take.. God Knows…
This requires improvement…. Or the process requires to know the value of time & money.
Saying with Regrets,
PS.
For 139 Vodafone is charging Rs 2/min in Pune which is even more the max STD(Rs 1.5/min).
Even in Bangalore Vodafone has same price for dialing 139.
2/- per minute.
But if you use other phones it will be cheaper.
