I'm generally on-board with the thrust of the article, but deep-dive volunteering for on-call work should be regarded with caution. Only do it if it is properly compensated and your time is valued (vacation days to compensate for your lost utility, for example). If you're on-call and want to do anything outside of cell range or want to be unconditionally available for family or friends.... you can't.

Typically those companies requiring on-call periods give their employees pagers to keep during vacations...

  A pager doesn't let you be unconditionally available for family/friends or far outside of the range of technology.

  If you are on-call, you are not on vacation.
