The present invention relates to a method for processing the video telephone call failure based on the mobile communication network, which comprises the following steps: when a video telephone call initiated by a calling terminal has failed, the mobile communication network side returns a call failure message which contains a reason value of the call failure and a disconnecting signaling to said calling terminal in accordance with the reason of the call failure; after said calling terminal receives said call failure message, it queries and extracts said call failure prompt information data in accordance with said reason value and broadcasts the call failure prompt information locally. Through pre-installing the call failure prompt information in the video telephone calling terminal and sending the call failure signaling by the network side, the present invention makes the video telephone calling terminal get the reason of failure rapidly and complete the next step of concrete operation effectively when the call failed. In addition, the system resources could be well used and the waste of the system resources could be reduced because of the reason of the call failure returning duly.
