They could have cancelled or modified your rest, or assigned you short call or another trip immediately after your rest. etc. etc. Not likely, but possible.
Assuming you check your schedule and they haven't done any of that, then you have no responsibility to answer the phone or check your schedule during the 24 hour rest. You just go on long call at the end of it. The usual 12 hour leash.
Are you sure about not having to check your schedule during the 24hr rest? Just trying to get my own clarification too.
This is from the When Scheduling Calls document...
