I've held several jobs where I was required to carry a pager: NEVER AGAIN!

I've yet to find a company that doesn't abuse it to save money. Unless I own the company or have a significant share I no longer agree to help the bottom line by messing with my health.

I might have had bad experiences compared to most but since you're thinking about this option, wouldn't it make sense to think about why the company hasn't just shifted an existing resource to 2nd/3rd shift to help versus trying to save money by making you do another job on top of your day job?

Good luck with the switch!
