If you have access to a mobile
Register an account with any mobile number, and then attempt to login. The login process provides mobile verification, which accepts international country codes.
These are the steps to take:
Complete the registration form using any phone number that meets the form's criteria (10 digits)
Receive the registration confirmation email. Subject: IRCTC' s Online Rail Ticket Reservation User Registration Confirmation
Attempt to login using your registered user id and password at https://www.irctc.co.in/eticketing/loginHome.jsf (you don't need to click Request OTP)
You will be prompted to verify your phone number (and email address if this has not been done yet)
Click edit, input a valid mobile number, and request an OTP to be sent. You will receive an SMS that says OTP for mobile no verification of user id [your_id] is 12345
Complete the OTP verification
Log out and log back in
If you do not have access to a mobile
Complete step 1, then follow their instruction to contact care@irctc.co.in to recieve your OTP by email. They will ask you to provide a form of identification, such as passport.

Just to add to this answer that there is a list of other options on the Seat 61 website at seat61.com/India.htm#Buy-tickets-online some of which may also suit the OP.

Even if you have previously managed to register with an international number, you will be prompted (at your next login) to pay this fee before you can continue using the account.

US$1.80 (£1.40 sterling, NZ$2.65) does not seem an enormous surcharge for foreign visitors.

When selecting the country there are two options regarding india. One is India and another one is India(NRI). When we choose only India the ISD number folder will block automatically and we can enter our mobile number by skipping ISD. When we choose India (NRI) or countries other than India it will ask ISD also. Please check properly when selecting country whether its India or India(NRI).
