MIAMI, FL - November 14, 2007- TelePlus World, Corp. (OTCBB: TLPE; Frankfurt: YT3.F) (www.teleplus world.com), a wireless and telecom reseller offering specialized communications products and services in the U.S. and Canada, announced that its subsidiary Telizon, part of the Company's telecom division, has surpassed its single year growth record in 2007 as measured by new Centrex Serving Area openings in Central and Northern Ontario.
In all, 9 new Centrex Serving Areas were launched in 2007, one more than the previous record of 8 opened in 2006. Telizon now provides a value added bundle of commercial telecommunications packages including local lines, long distance, toll free and high speed internet services to customers in 53 distinct Centrex Serving Areas in Ontario.

In addition to also providing stand alone long distance services to the commercial market, Telizon provides long distance and internet services to targeted residential markets.
