I occasionally register domain names for my clients, but leave them in full control. Basically I add a service to their account using the Namecheap module, and either bill them accordingly or issue it free of charge to the customer per any contract agreement.
I've done this successfully a couple of times in the past; had no problems with .com and .net addresses.
In fact the account in question here today already had a .net domain registered this way.
I went to register a .me domain, but would receive this error:
The phone number in the account was set as the contact work phone in the ###-###-#### format, which worked AS IS when I registered the .net previously. I know this because I would have changed it as need last time, and it hasn't been changed since.
I corrected the account information, and when I tried again I got the same red error box as pictured, but it was blank. I didn't get to screen capture it, but there was no actual message in the error box...
I then went to their website and was going to register it through them, and then transfer it later. The first attempt returned a 500 error, but the second attempt successfully registered the domain.
Seeing as my first attempt on their website produced error as well, I'd assume there was a temporary glitch in their system which may have caused a blank error dialog I had received previously, but I can't be 100% sure.

Either way I came across https://www.namecheap.com/support/api/error-codes.aspx which states it basically needed to be in a +1.########## format since it was a US number.

Sound familiar to anyone else?
