The issue is, when you are required to be on call, not the if they get a hold of you, type of calls, for example I used to work for a fortune 100 company as a contractor, and the rules there were quite simple, when on call as the primary contact, you can not go out of town, you can not drink, and you must remain within a 20 minute response time of the datacenter. The only extra time you get paid for is when they actually call you, but what about anything else? If I can't go out after work on a friday and have a beer because I'm on call-- because I'm working, I should be paid for that time.
