Personally, I don't like cell phones for kids that age. I think they are way too young to have to be responsible for all that goes along with having a phone.
However, now here you sit with an unwanted cell phone, trying to figure out what to do with it.
I myself would plainly tell the ex, "yes, the phone is yours but, it is in my house, so there will be house rules". Such turned off and "locked" away at night. Maybe make it available to them for a certain amount of time, after homework, dinner, chores or whatever. As they show some responsibility you can allow texts during certain hours or on weekends. If they fight over the phone or it causes a distraction or upsets, it will be put up and they as always are welcome to call her from the home phone.
Set the rules that work best for you. If she doesn't like your rules, she is welcome to the phone.
