The dial tone is used by terrestrial phone services to alert the user to dial now. The tone indicates that the local switch is set up to make the call and is awaiting instruction; telephone number. Because the wireless phone searches out a local tower, the antenna strength indicator on the handset face is in essence the dial tone. If you have a signal you have a dial tone.
