They existed in Italy on prepaid. I remember the tariff DOVE by Wind, for example, with which you could choose one Italian province you could call at off peak rates 24h a day. Omnitel (now Vodafone) and TIM also had tariffs which used cell broadcast to offer cheaper rates while on the home cell. They have all disappeared, anyway.
