Should I waste my time, or am I looking to much into his feelings for his ex?

Hi, I posted on here before and got some really helpful answers. I've been on a few dates with a guy who has been in touch with his ex since they split up last March. He says they had an argument a couple of weeks ago and haven't spoken since but she was upset and wanted to talk to him but she hasn't contacted him so far. The thing is, he has a mobile phone that she phones him on (it's his old mobile - he has a new one now) and she is the ONLY person who now uses that number! Everyone else, including his kids, have his new number and I have asked him to throw the old phone away and he said he would but he hasn't and he still keeps it switched on and even checks it to see if he has any messages or missed calls! Why does he need to keep this phone? Is it because he hopes she might call him again? He has not need at all whatsoever to keep it and it is a tatty old phone so it's not for value reasons and anyway a new sim card would be cheap and he earns well etc etc .... Our relationship is not serious and he talks about his ex a lot. It also sounds as though he is still angry with her. Am I putting two and two together and getting 12 or am I right to be worried. When I asked him why he is still has that old phone he got irritated and changed the subject!! Any input would be appreciated. I don't want to waste my time if he still burns a candle for his ex. I am in my 40's and divorced etc etc .. Thanks for reading this.
