RE: Entity does not support insert

Is this the Contact card or List Page publishes as web service? Is Insert enabled in that page?

Simply set editable = true property in the exposed page.

If the page you have exposed as web service is Editable = false by default, you cannot insert records.

You need to create a pageextension object and set editable = true property.

Or better: create a new page with the fields you need and use that page (more performant).
