The problem you have is not due to porting, it is just the FPL system in general.
I've been using FPL since it was fairly new, and have it forwarded to my cell for incoming calls.
I would say about half the time the incoming caller's number is correct, 25% of the time it says the call is coming from 416-642-0882, and the other 25% it's Private Number.... Like if I call from my landline or other cell to FPL # forwarded to cell phone 100 times one after another, it would be a scattered result of Real phone number, 416-642-0882, and Private. So it's definitely not a reliable service, but for free I wouldn't count on anything more. It serves its purpose for my uses, but if correct caller ID is important to you, I would avoid it.
