It doesn't actually include all the world, and very few countries where you can call mobile phones for free.

The US is included (both landlines and mobile phones)

I guess that is why they call it "worldwide".

Hehe, just like the World Series only includes the baseball teams that matter.

in fairness, the USA based baseball teams harvest players from all over the world. If you're at the professional level of skill and consistency, no matter where you live, you have a shot at playing in the majors in the states. The most recent world series teams provide ample evidence of this.

Yeah, I'm sure that's appreciated by the professional teams in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Dominican Republic and Cuba.
