VZW is solid on TR. 

We switched to Alltel back before VZ bought them for this exact reason. There are a few spots on the lake where I drop to 3 bars, that's about as bad as it gets.

My neighbors and I have tried them all - if you want service everywhere on the lake get Verizon.

I live on the upper end. Verizon is the only service that consistently has service at the house. I paid an ATT penalty to switch.

Rodmaker, I am in the dam area and my AT&T works fine until I get into the far reaches of Long creek or way up the white river. The real question should be about internet service as what I have found it is slow here.

by the way, what area of the lake will you be living?

Pioneer point up the James. Point 10 by aunts creek. (you know, that place on the lake with no fish in it.) Thanks everyone for your comments. I currently have Verizon, I guess I'll stick with it.

Good plan! I live on the James near pt. 13 and Verizon wins hands down.

Yes Internet is a problem depending on were you live - Suddenlink is great (highspeed, when it works and if you can get it where you are), Century Link dsl is slow, or hughnet which is expensive if you are a big user.
