Changing from mobile to paper passes

I am having a terrible time trying to contact customer service.  No telephone numbers or email address, no response on twitter or chat… :( I just booked interrail tickets for my family yesterday and chose mobile passes as I thought it would be easier and we don’t have much time for them to be posted, but didn’t realise that the passes can’t be moved from devices.  During the two months my husband and I will be travelling separately with our children at different points so we have a problem.  I need to see if I can switch to paper passes but we leave next week so it is now quite urgent, hence why I am getting frustrated at the inability to reach any sort of customer service.  Does anyone know an email address or telephone number that works?  Thank you!  And happy travels!

In case anyone else has the same question as me, in the end I reached customer service via Twitter.  Apparently it is possible to change from mobile to paper passes, although obviously you need to allow some time for this.  Alternatively, if you can reach the customer service, they can manually switch a pass to a different device if necessary, but you should allow at least 24 hours to reach them about this.  Hope that helps someone!  Happy travels!
