Best prepaid offering for Mexico?

Thanks for that very informative reply RTuesday. I think Telcel sounds good for her. So I need her to try and get a SIM in the area code where she is based I suppose? ASNy hurdles in buying one? Is it just a case of picking one up in a local Telcel store once there?

For incoming, I do not intend to forward from Movistar direct as that is way too expensive. I plan to forward to a local Madrid DID which will get charged at around 8c/min as per her normal plan but will at least meet minimum consumption as required per her Movistar contract. The plan is that the DID will forward to her Mexican Telcel, which can be done pretty cheap through one of the Betamax offerings.

I suppose outgoing can be done pretty cheap from Telcel and calling a local Mexican calling card rather than calling direct? Anyone have any experience with that?
