Where I work, being on call means being able to respond to a call by being at your laptop, with a reliable internet connection within 10 minutes - and able to keep working for as long as may be needed.
That means no stopping at the gym on the way home, no going into the city to see a show, no lengthy car journeys, no getting drunk, no going on dates, no evening classes, no school plays, no sport that takes you more than a block away from home, no taking your kids to the park to feed the ducks.
The idea you could have people be on call constantly sounds crazy to me.
