Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods for keeping in a CSFB network and an example user terminal, wherein when a first call of a 4G user fails to be set up, the user terminal keeps in a target network accessed by circuit switched fallback (CSFB). In this way, when the 4G user receives a call request message for the second time, the user terminal does not need to perform CSFB, thereby increasing a call setup success rate. One example method includes obtaining, by a user terminal, a first call request message. The user terminal performs CSFB according to the first call request message to access a target network. The user terminal determines whether a call setup message is received. If no call setup message is received, the user terminal camps on the target network.
