Nobody knows.
Not for certain.
Nit without knowing rather more about your and your closest associates, too.
But you’re probably fine.
Your info will probably be resold, and your value to spammers has increased because of the interaction, so you’ll get more.
Set unknown senders to mute. Block, filter, and report messages on iPhone - Apple Support
From that article:
Note: You canʼt open any links in a message from an unknown sender until you add the sender to your contacts or reply to the message.
Keep your iPhone and its apps updated to the most current available, too.
