Came across this info and just sharing it here.
myPNRstatus is a free online SMS alert service to minimize the worries of Indian Railway Travelers by eliminating the need for them to go online again and again in order to get the information about their PNR status or Delay in Train Timings.
Usually, when we book a Train Ticket and do not get a confirmed ticket, we have to go online to check our PNR status.myPNRstatus will reverse the process - Instead of YOU going online to check your PNR status, myPNRstatus will periodically check it on your behalf and in turn SMS you whenever there is a change in the status. Sounds peace isn't it :)
Ah , but when you have a confirmed ticket, you still need to go online and find the current Train timings. It is not uncommon to have your train delayed by more than an hour.
When you submit your PNR number and Mobile number with myPNRStatus.com ,it keeps you updated with your train timings and yes this is even when you have a confirmed ticket !!

Consider the following scenario:
Wait-listed tickets in Indian Rail are very common and so is the frequent delay in arrivals/departures of trains. Generally it becomes pretty painful to go online/ call up Indian Rail IVRS again and again to find out our latest PNR Status/ Train Timings.
www.mypnrstatus.com will send you FREE SMS Alerts periodically whenever your PNR status changes or there is a change in your train timing.
You just need to key in your PNR number and your mobile number on the website once to avail this facility.
Do go through the
privacy policy of the service provider before availing the facility.
