What Is Virtual Hold Technology (VHT)? 

In a contact center, virtual hold technology (VHT) is a form of queue management that enables callers to reserve their place in line, hang up, and then have an agent call them back when it is their turn. It eliminates the need to wait on the line. This technology is also called queue callback. Virtual hold technology is especially useful during high volume periods as it reduces customer frustration.
