is it possible to save contacts on windows phone 8 emulator permanently in phonegap

Question

Hi i'm unable to save the contacts in my windows phone 8 emulator permanently.contacts are saving just for a temporary period in people app.when i open that emulator and save contacts in it. They are getting saved but when i close that emulator and again reopened..no any contacts are showing in that people app .I want to import that contacts in my app for sending some info.but i cant proceed as its not showing any contacts in it.I gone through phonegap tutorial tried this code also.

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
    function onDeviceReady() {

    var contact = navigator.contacts.create();
    contact.displayName = "xyz";            
    var name = new ContactName();
    name.givenName = "abc";
    contact.name = name;
    contact.save(onSaveSuccess,onSaveError);
function onSaveSuccess(contact) {
    alert("Save Success");
}


function onSaveError(contactError) {
    alert("Error = " + contactError.code);
}

AFAIK you can't do that because WP8 API doesn't allow that. You only have Read-only access to Contact API.

See the documentation .

EDIT: After reading a little more about your issues I found this one . So I think that your problem is with emulator only, that doesn't persist data after turned off.
