Go to the tracfone website, log into your existing account, then select Activate -> I'm bringing my own smartphone. Enter the SIM card number, then when it asks if you are porting a number, give it your existing tracfone phone number. Your old number will be moved to this card along with any balance. I've done this multiple times. You'll then need to put this sim into your existing phone.
One caveat: If you're using a tracfone branded phone (which are typically using Verizon-network sims), the procedure is slightly more complex, as it will likely not accept this sim card. What I've done in this case is gone through the procedure above, put the sim into an old unlocked phone to make sure it works, then some time later (eg next day) moved my service back to the verizon sim that was in my desired phone.
Then ask customer service to move the 1200 minutes, 1200 texts, 3GB data, and 1-year of service over to your other Tracfone.

"Please transfer all minutes/texts/data/service time:
From ###-###-#### (IMEI xxxx xxxx xxxx xxx), zip code #####.
To ###-###-#### (IMEI xxxx xxxx xxxx xxx), zip code #####.
I have a new SIM I will activate (myself) after this transfer is finished."
It also rolled-over all my texts and minutes and data for another year. So whatever I had left on my account before I "topped up" was added to this plan.
I called customer service to get it added to my current plan.
I DID NOT DO IT ONLINE.

Can I transfer my current number onto this SIM during activation or is it only for new subscribers?

But I think you can make this easier with just using Google maps. There is a share location option and you can set 1 hr or permanent.
