Answer 1

To use Data Extension fields in SMS for personalization, use the AMPscript Lookup function, as you would do in an email: https://ampscript.guide/lookup/

Bare in mind, that the MOBILE_NUMBER is the subscriber key for SMS subscribers.

Here’s an example of a lookup function for use in SMS:

%%[

set @lookupValue = MOBILE_NUMBER
set @fn = Lookup("DataExtensionName","FirstName","MobileNumber", @lookupValue)

]%%
First Name: %%=v(@fn)=%%
