Abstract

The present invention relates to instant communications and provides a dialing method, a dialing device, a mobile terminal and a storage medium, and the method comprises: drawing a slider on a main interface, which is a screen lock interface or any desktop interface; receiving a dialing startup instruction from the slider, and obtaining N contact identifiers from a contact list, where N is an integer no less than 1; drawing dial object identifiers on the main interface; and obtaining a first contact identifier selected by a user from the dial object identifiers, and dialing a phone number associated with the first contact identifier. With the invention, the dialing operation flow may be shortened, the dialing speed may be improved, and direct dialing on the desktop of a mobile terminal may be supported; at the same time, the dialing gesture may be enriched, and user experience may be improved greatly.
