on call
Explanation:
When you think of gettone (at least for those of us old enough to remember), you normally think of the old telephone gettone. The term "On call" is used in the service industry. From Google: (of a person) able to be contacted in order to provide a professional service if necessary, but not formally on duty.

Da Internet:
Convenzione per Interventi di Manutenzione HW a Gettone
Per far sì che gli iscritti all’ordine degli architetti possano avere una convenzione completa a tutti gli effetti, proponiamo oltre agli sconti sui contratti di manutenzione hw on site delle stampanti anche un prezzo aggressivo per le richieste di intervento senza la sottoscrizione di un contratto. Questi tipi di interventi vengono chiamati a “gettone” . Un iscritto all’ ordine può contattarci per richiedere un preventivo su un carnet di gettoni.
Il carnet è composto da un minimo di 2 gettoni fino ad un massimo di gettoni concordabile tra le parti.
