Is my iPhone at risk after responding to a scam text?

Replying No, cannot put you at risk. If you have given personal information, sure, you could be at risk, but a simple no, would not.

"Is my iPhone at risk after responding to a scam text?: I’ve been getting texts from numbers like '63109' claiming the she is my health benefits rep and to reply Stop if I want it to stop. I usually delete and report to junk but I always get another, without thinking I text back stop cause I was so annoyed. Then it hit me that it could be a hack and I just replied and handed over my phone to a hacker. Is this possible?"
