I always answer calls from work ( as long as I hear my phone - it's usually in another room so I don't always), but I only agree to cover 60% of the time.
However, because I'm firm/honest about when I can or can't cover, and am a hard worker, my managers don't call me in for too many last minute crappy shifts, and they generally give me time off when I want even at very short notice.
But, I've noticed that actually I seem to get a lot more leeway/credit from my managers than a couple of my co-workers do, so maybe I just got lucky!
