Yes and no. You have no requirement to answer the phone on your day off (actually, you are never REQUIRED to answer your phone even on an on call day) - you do have to check your schedule after 1500 local base time on your last X day though. And I think, per the contract, the earliest report you can have on your first on call day is 0500.
So, if you check your schedule at 1501 and there is no trip, and you are are not assigned SC - the earliest report you could be given would be 1200, and they would have to try to contact you at midnight to assign that trip.
