So verizon wireless has an add that says it works in 220 countries... after doing a bit of google work, i've come to learn that there are 195 countries in the world... (192 UN Members, 3 non members)....


with that said... does anyone have a clue what the other 25 countries are???

there's 257, but the UN doesn't count certain sovereign states. if they meet all four
* (a) a permanent population
* (b) a defined territory
* (c) government
* (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states.

most of the ones not counted in the 196 you counted is because of A and D

Probably has something to do with Verizon's parent company- Vodafone.

Sigh. Verizon has a several global phones/air cards (Work on CDMA and GSM), which is what he is referring to.
