More about SMS.ac: how good (bad) is their site?

SMS.ac is a company that uses social engineering and "invitation" spam to enrol new customers. I won't further comment on their business model/practice, but just how good is their website?
I will leave to others to say whether their SMS service is any good, but here are some elements of answer gathered from the web:

Speed
Alexa rates SMS.ac as "very slow".

Robustness
When using the site, you should expect to occasionally get crude messages reporting "ASP Exceptions", "SQL Server Errors" and other technical faults. It's amusing that Yahoo crawlers caught one of these while indexing the site…

Useability
They don't seem to be aware that 10% of web users don't use Internet Explorer. With Netscape/Mozilla the site is barely useable, with a tiny font.
