2021 Child Tax Credit--is there a way to opt out of payments without using the portal

Greetings,

 

My ex-husband and I alternate years claiming our son on our taxes.  I claimed my son on my 2020 taxes.  My ex will claim him on his 2021 taxes.  I am trying to log into the portal to opt out of the rest of the advance payments so that I don't end up having to pay the funds back next year.   I can't get into the portal due to problems with the ID.me app.    Every time it sends me a verification link, it sends the link to me broken into two separate text messages, so I can't click on the link.  I tried to hand-type the entire link into a web browser, and that didn't work either.  I've already spent at least 3 hours trying to do this.  Is there an alterative way to  opt out, by paper or by phone?  Please help! Thanks!
