1. Have you met your spouse in person??

2. You could only apply for spouse dependent visa once your visa has been granted. Unlikely spouse will get a visitor visa unless very strong ties to home country are shown with substantial evidence.

CR001 is right. I'm pretty sure home office don't accept phone marriages.
I know one case, best thing is to wait for outcome and then get married.
You need pictures, calls records to prove your relationship is genuine.
Best of luck.
