This is not a problem with wvdial per se. This is a portion of the general *nix security principles. The normal permissions of ttySn devices is 644 and owned by root. Even if you change this permission to 666, things will not work because pppd is also confgured for running as root. The best way to dial in as an user is to give sudo access to selected users, if you have sudo installed.
