The shortest delivery time for shipping a cell phone to her is more than the week that you have before her flight?

If you do not already have a cell phone for her to use in the US, you can buy a cheap prepaid one at Target or Wal Mart, activate it, program your and airline phone numbers in it, and send it to her if some shipping company (FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS, etc.) can get it there fast enough.

Another option is for her to see if there are any local (to the country she is in now) companies selling prepaid cell phones for use while traveling to the US.

A misconnect could be quite inconvenient if you and she are unable to communicate which flight she gets rebooked on, since you won't know when to pick her up from the airport.
