A calling app that displays the time in the destination city and, if between the hours of perhaps 11pm and 6am, pauses and asks if you want to proceed.

       What if the destination is not in a city?

       Cell phones know which cell they are connected to, & that has a location accurate enough for this idea. (I'm assuming you dial, then the message happens, before the recipient phone rings (or not).)
A satellite phone could be a problem, unless those have a GPS function tagged to the call data.

       It would probably require a permission setting to be enabled on both user's phones, similar to sending/requesting read receipts for SMS.
