This application relates to the field of communications technologies, and discloses example redirection methods and apparatuses to ensure that a call drop does not occur after UE is redirected. One example method includes determining, by a base station, that a redirection operation needs to be performed on user equipment UE, and then instructing a core network to reserve a guaranteed bit rate (GBR) bearer or a voice service bearer that is corresponding to the UE. The UE is then instructed to reserve the GBR bearer or the voice service bearer that is corresponding to the UE. After the UE is redirected to a new base station, the voice service bearer of the UE is reserved on a UE side.
