   If you go to your Ancestry Account Settings | Communications there is an   
   entry for the DNA activation phone number which was provided at the time   
   of the original test. Perhaps they use that number?   
      
   But once you have normal password access to the Ancestry account it   
   seems you can change that phone number (but only to a UK, Australia,   
   Canada or USA number)
