Not true! The dial tone is only put there as a convenience so users know
that the line is operational. The line can be operational and the
dialtone has not been initiated.

Try

man wvdial.conf | grep -A2 dialtone

and 

AT Command Set: Xn Result Code Selection and Call Progress detection. 
As I said in my previous post X3 is probably the one. Though the AT
Command Set is not applied in a universal way by modem manufacturers.
