Yeah, this one came up a while ago, a few people gave their opinions and call out rates. Have a read

http://forums.contractoruk.com/busin...out-rates.html

The forum doesn't search for these short terms very well so try doing a google for:

site:contractoruk.com "call out"
site:contractoruk.com "on call"

Personally I wouldn't do on-call for free unless the rate was outstanding. What if you are away on the beach or pissed in a pub? Would they expect you to have a laptop handy to sort some stuff out? Every gig is different I suppose.
