First check your DE attribtues. The DE should contain Subscrirbey key with Text as datatype, an email address with an email address as datatype and a phone number field.

In the send relationship, subscriber key should be related to "All subscribers"

Next step, Configuring journey SMS activity.subscriber opt-in choices

If you have selected, Send only to contacts who are subscribed currently, then you need to create a mobile contact list and loaded all your mobile numbers, locale and subscribed to a keyword or You can choose Subscribe all Contacts to a keyword. This will subscribe contacts’ phone numbers in real-time to a keyword of your choice as they hit the activity.

The last step, Make sure you have chosen the correct phone field in the journey settings.

Note: Your phone number should also contain the country code. Example: Singapore country code: 65 Mobile Number: 9898 9898 so Valid phone number is: 6598989898 enter image description here

I found solution for this, before sending SMS via Journey builder,

Step 1- mobile numbers should be present in mobile connect

Step 2- There is a Locale field in mobile connect which should be specified in the DE eg:- https://countrycode.org/

these two are main solutions to use Mobile connect SMS in Journey Builder. remaining regular configuration in Journey Builder.
