A method for prompting a calling request comprising the steps of: receiving, by a local terminal, a calling request from a second terminal during a call of the local terminal with a first terminal, the calling request carrying a communication identification of the second terminal; inquiring first user information corresponding to the communication identification of the second terminal in a contact list stored in the local terminal; determining corresponding first audio data by accessing a text-audio database in which first audio data is associated with said first user information; and playing the first audio data, characterized in that, after the step of inquiring first user information, the method further comprises the steps of: if user information corresponding to the communication identification of the second terminal is not found in the contact list stored in the local terminal, sending to a server a request for acquiring a user type corresponding to the communication identification of the second terminal; when the local terminal receives from the server a user type corresponding to the communication identification of the second terminal, determining, by the local terminal, a reporting attribute corresponding to the user type corresponding to the communication identification of the second terminal, according to previously stored corresponding relationships between user types and reporting attributes, wherein the reporting attribute triggers a reporting action or a non-reporting action; and if the reporting attribute triggers a reporting action, acquiring previously stored second audio data corresponding to said user type, and playing the second audio data; if the reporting attribute triggers a non-reporting action, disabling audio prompt of the calling request and displaying relevant information on the calling request on a screen of the local terminal, wherein the first audio data and the call of the local terminal with the first terminal can be simultaneously performed. receiving, by a local terminal, a calling request from a second terminal during a call of the local terminal with a first terminal, the calling request carrying a communication identification of the second terminal; inquiring first user information corresponding to the communication identification of the second terminal in a contact list stored in the local terminal; determining corresponding first audio data by accessing a text-audio database in which first audio data is associated with said first user information; and playing the first audio data, characterized in that, after the step of inquiring first user information, the method further comprises the steps of: if user information corresponding to the communication identification of the second terminal is not found in the contact list stored in the local terminal, sending to a server a request for acquiring a user type corresponding to the communication identification of the second terminal; when the local terminal receives from the server a user type corresponding to the communication identification of the second terminal, determining, by the local terminal, a reporting attribute corresponding to the user type corresponding to the communication identification of the second terminal, according to previously stored corresponding relationships between user types and reporting attributes, wherein the reporting attribute triggers a reporting action or a non-reporting action; and if the reporting attribute triggers a reporting action, acquiring previously stored second audio data corresponding to said user type, and playing the second audio data; if the reporting attribute triggers a non-reporting action, disabling audio prompt of the calling request and displaying relevant information on the calling request on a screen of the local terminal, wherein the first audio data and the call of the local terminal with the first terminal can be simultaneously performed.
