Many people on here have indicated that they don't talk to their partners on the phone everyday, or don't text all day.. does that translate to their disinterest in the relationship?

I don't think it's necessary disinterest but rather different communication styles. I strongly suggest you read "The Five Love Languages." For him, his language may be quality time, which he feels he's spending with you by constant communication, where yours may be something different - you don't need the constant contact, but may show your interest/love to him in other ways.
This is actually a really good book for understanding all your relationships better. It really helped me with my best friend as I learned that my love language is quality time and his is acts of service - he shows he cares by all the things he does for me around the house, etc. Until I read the book, I was getting frustrated that he'd want to come over and just work on projects all the time when I wanted us to do things I felt were more fun. Now we have learned to strike a balance between the two so we're both happy.
