Sim card with Data plan

Hi, we will be in Lisbon very soon. We are looking to buy a SIM card with data plan ( unlimited?) that we can use in Portugal and France, preferably with an english prompt. Is the airport the best place to buy it or is there another place? Thanks a lot for your help.

I can't help with the plans but I always get a card once I'm in town. I like to be able to go back to the shop if there are any issues or questions.

The two biggest companies are MEO and NOS. I'm not certain they have kiosks at the airport but they would likely be quite busy. Pretty much all neighborhoods will have one or the other storefront. Or you can google the companies and find their stores. I don't know about unlimited data plans but the stores I've used have always had at least one English speaking staff person.
Be sure to ask about using it in France. With the new no roaming across the EU rule, you might be able to use in both countries, but I'm not certain.
