Access a non-silverlight web service from Silverlight Phone

I am trying to access the WCF web service (which is not supported by silverlight) from a Windows Phone application using Silverlight. I can add a link to the service, and I can see all the methods of this service.

The problem I am facing is that when I actually try to call the method, I get an "EndPointNotFoundException".

I read a lot of examples that use the web service that is included with SilverLight.

My question is: Can I use a web service that is NOT used in a Windows Phone application using Silverlight?

Test the service using the WCF test client and see if it works. If there are no errors, make sure that the service uses basicHttpBinding (and not wsHttpBinding, as I see in many services - not supported in WP7 ).
