A dialing prompt system and method may include a monitoring unit, and a dialing prompt information processing unit. The monitoring unit is adapted to monitor whether it is necessary to send dialing prompt information to a user, and if necessary, trigger the dialing prompt information processing unit. The dialing prompt information processing unit determines dialing prompt information for the user, and sends the information to the user. After the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a communication system, if the user sends a call request (by going off-hook, for example), the dialing prompt system generates voice information, text information, picture information, or video image information (namely, at least one of such items) as an indication that allows the user to make the call. That is, at least one item of “voice information, text information, picture information, and video image information” may form diversified information to replace the existing unitary dialing prompt audio signal.
