Got caught by a text scam

[Hoggymum]

Can someone please set my mind at rest. I’ve just had my bill and noticed a 65p surcharge over my plan. When I checked I realised I had replied STOP from what I thought was a legitimate company. I didn’t realise it was a scam. Have I compromised my phone? I don’t have any bank details stored but am really worried I may have compromised my phone. I’m feeling a bit sick to be honest.
