How to use WCF service running on Windows Service - wcf

Question

I am new at WCF. I have created a new WCF service which has one method called SendFax(). It is running on windows service. I want other users to use this method but how? I installed the windows service with installutil.exe and it is running now. I guess my WCF service is listening. How can I reach this service? My windows service code is here:
public partial class WCFWinService : ServiceBase
{
ServiceHost serviceHost;
public WCFWinService()
{
InitializeComponent();
ServiceName = "Digiturk FaxPro WCF";
}
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
if (serviceHost != null)
{
serviceHost.Close();
}
serviceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(FaxPro.WCFWindowsService.WCFWinService));
serviceHost.Open();
}
protected override void OnStop()
{
if (serviceHost != null)
{
serviceHost.Close();
serviceHost = null;
}
}
}
WCF Interface code:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IWCFService
{
[OperationContract]
void SendFax(....);
}
WCF Service Code:
public class WCFService : IWCFService
{
public void SendFax(...)
{ ... }
Any suggestions?

You can connect to this service at the defined address:
http://example.com:8733/Design_Time_Addresses/Digiturk.FaxPro.WcfServiceLibrary/‌Service1/
It's a SOAP service - so you'll need a SOAP-capable testing tool, like SoapUI or the WCF Test Client (just a browser will not work). You can get the WSDL for the service at the above address by appending ?wsdl to the URL.
