Nevermind... I have it sorted now.  Here's my revised wvdial.conf:

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1=ATZ
Init2=ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3=AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","three.co.uk","",0,0
modem=/dev/rfcomm0
Baud=460800
Modem Type=Analog Modem
ISDN=0
Phone = *99#
Username = user
Password = passwd
New PPPD = yes

It was the APN bit I was getting wrong - it's now set to "three.co.uk" 
and it works.  I also remove stupid mode because it's not needed, 
apparently.
