Just to clarify - "most people" aren't having porting problems. Only the people having porting problems are posting on the forums, the rest of the folks who had no issues at all aren't bothering (unless they are trying to score community rewards :)) Chances are pretty good that as long as you put in your information correctly, your port will go through with no problems at all.
If your existing porting problem is such that you can still receive calls on your Bell SIM, porting out the remaining number on the account won't result in the account being closed, because as far as Bell is concerned, you still haven't ported out the original number. If you can't receive calls on the Bell SIM, as far as Bell is concerned you're already gone, so it doesn't matter if you port out the last number on the account any way - there's nothing left for them to do on the Bell side. No point in continuing to pay for your Bell account unnecessarily.
