Phone not confirmed yet
Will KeyAgain run on the Nokia 6300?
Probably, but not confirmed yet. The slim stainless-steel Nokia that sold in huge numbers. It’s a Series 40 phone with MIDP 2.0, the same system as the 5310 and 2330 classic that we’ve seen running KeyAgain.

What works on the Nokia 6300
- Telegram chats, through Telegram’s official API

- An optional AI assistant for quick questions (paid add-on)
Why it should work, and what we don’t know yet
The Nokia 6300 runs MIDP 2.0, the same Java system as phones we’ve already seen running KeyAgain in the Nokia Series 40 family. Firmware, screen size and the operator’s network still vary, so we only call a model confirmed once someone has used it. The first 3 days are free: install it and tell us how it went at hello@keyagain.app.
How to install KeyAgain on the Nokia 6300
- Open your account at my.keyagain.app on a computer or modern phone, and connect Telegram and/or WhatsApp.
- On the Nokia 6300, 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.
- 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 Nokia 6300: After installing, look for KeyAgain in the Applications folder of the menu, and allow network access when asked.
Networks: will it get online where you live?
The Nokia 6300 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 Nokia 6300?
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 Nokia 6300 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.
