An instant communication method is disclosed. The method includes receiving an instant communication message sent by a first client terminal, the instant communication message including first identity information and second identity information; obtaining a corresponding self-defined voice message based on the first identity information; adding the instant communication message to the end of the self-defined voice message to form a current message; and sending the current message to a communication device that corresponds to the second identity information. The instant communication method is able to effectively avoid misunderstanding of a message receiving party.
