when you CTRL+C the slmodemd closes and wvdial will not find the modem port '/dev/ttySL0", as Marv suggested open another console shell or tab, and do
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
IT should find the modem port and after that you can edit the username, password and phone number, add the option "Carrier Check - no" and attempt a connection.

Just apply the commands that Marv told you, if you get error message(s), please attach them so that experts can guide you to resolv your problem. Be patient and follow the steps carefully.
