SMS ticket
Send a text to 902 06 with the code of the ticket, for example DPT42 for 30 minutes or DPT55 for 90 minutes. For 24 and 72-hour tickets you will receive a question to confirm by replying „Ano“ (yes). The ticket arrives within about two minutes and is valid from the time stated in the message.
You may enter the metro or the funicular only once you have received the ticket. SMS tickets need a Czech mobile number, they are valid only within Prague (zones P, 0 and B) and not on trains, regional lines or the AE airport bus.
