I'm #1. I'm on call 24x7x365. I don't get paid extra for it. I carry a blackberry. Work pays $40 of the $120 verizon bill.
That said, I almost never get called. If I do, it's my Jr Systems Engineer with a simple question. I do have to do work that requires system downtime after hours(obviously), and I still have to work the normal 8 hour days before and after.
