I would just add that the price of the startup pack may vary by region, in some areas it's 200 pesos.
As you mentioned, make sure you get a sim in the area code where you will be using it most often, to avoid domestic roaming charges.
Like calling European mobiles, it can be very expensive for somebody to call your Mexican mobile directly - for example the standard British Telecom daytime rate is around a pound (EUR 1.15) per minute! (and still 30p/min on their discount plans).
For incoming calls, localphone UK do a free UK landline number that can forward to Mexico mobile for 6.4p/min (localphone US is cheaper at 8.8c/min). Either of these would be a way to receive calls without it costing the caller too much (and also makes it easier for them).
Sorry, I don't have any better suggestions for international outbound calls from Telcel, as I use other ways for that (mainly voip).
