after some search in internet I have used
sudo dpkg-reconfigure sl-modem-daemon -plow
to set my country, and
sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart
to restart the slmodemd daemon with new settings

it is now already set to GERMANY:
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=GERMANY

sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
has simply written some default settings (no possibility to change
anything during this process)
I have used than
gksudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf &
and added "Carrier Check = no".
Then altered Phone, Password, Username.
(It is Arcor Internet-By-Call, the settings are common for everybody)
Content of /etc/wvdial.conf is now:
------------------------------------------
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = 01920793
ISDN = 0
Password = internet
New PPPD = yes
Username = arcor
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Baud = 460800
Carrier Check = no
