Your eSIM picks between these networks on its own. If you see bars and nothing loads, you can pick one by hand.
Your Turks and Caicos Islands eSIM runs on one network: FLOW. Other local networks won't carry your data: if you see signal bars and nothing loads, turn off automatic network selection (iPhone: Settings → Cellular → your eSIM → Network Selection; Android: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → your eSIM) and pick FLOW by hand.
