Here in Italy, in a good 80% of IT jobs there's no compensation for being on call, since we're all friends. Big friends, especially when the caller has a mobile sponsored from the company and the called has just his own personal one.
For example, it's no matter if they call you and when you tell them "listen, pal, there's a doctor here that's explaining me the real name of the cancer killing my mother" you get answers like "ok, but the X thing is not working, we need it asap".
We're all friends.
