There has to be a delay if you set the lines for caller ID. If the phones were answered on the first ring, you wouldn't get the caller ID because as newtecky said, it comes BETWEEN the first and second ring and the Toshiba is correctly waiting for the second ring before it starts to ring your phone so you don't miss the caller ID and complain that the Toshiba didn't give you the number. They don't need complaints so they program it that way.
