I'm currently on a team that supports a critical government app responsible for people's pay cheques. We have a phone that the on call person carries and only get calls from the help desk when they get a call. We do two weeks on and have anywhere from 2 to 5 people on rotation depending on the current team size. There is extra pay for "standby" and also hourly payment for doing work outside of business hours. It works well and all the devs are onboard.
