Not sure. Is the origin of this problem that phone number, login and
password entries are missing in wvdial.conf?
Mine is like the following (see below). The first (modem) section was
set up when I added hardware via the "neat" program, the latter two (ISP
specific sections) when I added ISP dial-up details. They inherit from
the modem section, and add their own modifications. I could shift
common parts from them up into the modem section, but I never did.
Setting things up via neat does configure /etc/wvdial.conf and other
things, at the same time, for networking to work. I found that if I
merely copied the wvdial.conf to another computer, with the networking
hardware already set up, dial-up didn't work. Not when using if-up
followed by the ISP name, to dial-up, at least. The corresponding
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-example.com file needed
to be set up, as well.
What you actually configure, will depend on what method you use to
connect. I've never played with wvdial directly, nor dial-up managed by
KDE. Using neat (GUI tool) or neat-tui (curses based) sets things fine
in my experience. If you go some other way, you have to manage it all
yourself.
I wouldn't set a dial-up connection to "activate at boot" (description
from within neat). It tries to dial-up while the PC is booting, and
doesn't succeed, for me. That's a potential for other problems, too,
depending on how you pay for internet access.

The following filenames are the same thing (linked files):

/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-example.com

Looking through the above ifcfg- configuration file, you ought to be
able to see that some parts of provide the references to the correct
part of the wvdial.conf file.
