What works on the Motorola RAZR V3

How to install KeyAgain on the Motorola RAZR V3

  1. Open your account at my.keyagain.app on a computer or modern phone, and connect Telegram and/or WhatsApp.
  2. On the Motorola RAZR V3, open the browser and go to m.keyagain.app to download the app (about 156 KB). No browser? Download the file on a computer and send it by Bluetooth or cable.
  3. Open KeyAgain on the phone. It shows a 6-digit code: type it into your account once. Your chats arrive on the phone.

Tip for the Motorola RAZR V3: Set up the operator’s data connection on the V3 before installing: that’s what let the V3 in our photo get online. When the phone asks which connection to use, choose your operator’s internet profile.

Networks: will it get online where you live?

The Motorola RAZR V3 only has 2G, so it needs a 2G network or nothing. 2G is already off in the United States and Switzerland and is ending in France during 2026, while the UK, Germany, Spain and others keep it for a few more years. Check your country →

Good to know before you start

The phone needs its own internet connection: mobile data on the SIM, or Wi-Fi on models that have it. WhatsApp arrives through an unofficial linked-device bridge that WhatsApp doesn’t endorse, and your main phone must come online at least every 14 days. Messages pass through our server to reach the phone, so this is not end-to-end encryption; the server keeps at most the latest 30 messages of each chat, encrypted, for up to 7 days.

Questions

Does the official WhatsApp app still work on the Motorola RAZR V3?

No. WhatsApp ended its apps for Nokia Series 40, Symbian, BlackBerry OS and other classic systems in 2017–2018. KeyAgain is a different route: WhatsApp stays on your smartphone and the Motorola RAZR V3 receives your chats as a linked device, through an unofficial bridge (beta).

Do I still need a smartphone?

For WhatsApp, yes: it stays your main device and must come online at least every 14 days. For Telegram, no.

How much does it cost?

Basic costs €4.99, £4.49 or US$4.99 a month, with 3 free days to try it. The AI assistant is an optional add-on. WhatsApp is experimental and free while it lasts.
