I have always let it be known that I am available if completely necessary. It has never been expected though. And I have only had a work related call once whilst actually away on holiday.

Had quite a few over the years whilst off sick though. They don't seem to mind disturbing you as much for that.

I believe the culture is that if you have a mobile paid for by the company you are expected to answer it if they need you. I do not.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
