Or, to make it wait a tad bit longer (Telstra is Satan) - you can do
something like:

ATDT ,,,

(the comma's are 1 second pauses)

...but I also found that forcing a generic init string to the modem can
get better results as well:

AT &F &C1 &D2 E1 Q0 V1

...which can also solve problems with line noise (&C1 &D2) and proper
echo recognition to the modem (E1)...
