The $5 fee is a minimum for a calling plan which gives you a 10% or more 
discount on your calls.  If you make less than $5 worth of long 
distance calls in a month, then you are probably better off
with a non-discount plan.  

I have the same plan, except that since I make more than $5 per month
in calls, the $5 is credited back, AND I get an additional 10% or 20%
discount on all my calls.
