I'm kinda in this situation (but the reverse) right now...I have 2 guys waiting that i told them we would call early this week, but we did call another early in the week and told him he had the job but said he would think about it and get back to us today. The other two guys sent thank yous and did call us up yesterday to inquire and all we could tell them was that "the search was still in progress and sorry for the delay"
so in reguards to your question there is no harm in calling, just dont be surprized if what u hear back is "don't stop looking elsewhere"
Even tho it would be his personal cell number I would call him on? Would that still be ok in your eyes?
Dude, I work in business and I do plenty of recruiting, and I can tell you that it's not a big deal either way. They KNOW you want a job because you applied for it, so it's not like you calling will be a surprise. So, you can call today or Monday, and it won't matter. One call won't drive them nuts. Just make sure that if he says they don't know and they'll call you back that you ask for a time-frame. Otherwise, you'll go through this again.
But, I'll tell you, if it was me, I'd wait until around 9:00 or 10:00 on Monday morning, just because it's sometimes nice to not look desperate. Or, if you do call today, make a comment like, "I really am interested in this job, and I just don't want to commit to someone else if this job will be available to me." That way, you look like you're looking elsewhere, others may or may not be interested, and you're just trying to be thoughtful to all those involved.
