That is actually the one reason I like carrying a pager. I still dislike it for enough other reasons that I would give it up in a second. But, when I'm on call, I know that if anything is important enough that I have to respond to it RIGHT NOW, I'll get paged. And that lets me completely forget about checking any other form of electronic communication until I feel like it -- which, on the weekend, can be a day or more.
