Did the man regret never meeting the other last person on earth?

Was the apocolyptic event. . .
A nuclear holocaust?
A war?
A natural disaster?
The rapture?
A different act of God?

Actually the story isn't specific on this. Pick one you like.

He surely did.

Is the nature of the apocolypse relevant?
Did the man leave his house only to discover a wasteland, or area devoid of human life?

Is the nature of the apocolypse relevant? Nah, not for our purposes.

Did the man leave his house only to discover a wasteland, or area devoid of human life? Yes.

We're pretty much there, someone try to sum up what we got.

A man leaves his apartment to find no other human life. He lives for nearly a year without any human contact, and decides to take his own life. After jumping from his apartment building, he hears his phone ring on his way towards the ground, and regrets his impending death because he thinks a person was calling him.

In actuality, the caller was an automated telemarketing service that continued making unsolicited sales calls even after everyone on the "Do not call" list had vanished. Not only was the caller a recording, it was a spanish recording. If the man had answered, he would have gone completely insane, and lived out his days having intense conversations with his three dead fish: Larry, Curly, and Moe.

Well uh... actually I was going for there actually being a person on the other end of the phone that was still alive, but your answer sounds good to me too.

Good job everyone!

Swish.

There for a minute I was gonna be happy this guy died. I mean. . . you don't actually try to find other people or give them your number, and then you go and kill yourself because they don't call.

Him being a post apocolypse planet dude made it make sense though.
