If you are using WCF to connect to Windows Phone 7, you are going to need a "server" of some sort. I think since you are new to WCF, you should probably start with learning the basics of WCF. Once you get up to speed on the basics, you will have a better handle on how to deal with issues like this in the manner best suited to your environment.

Here is a quick quote from Microsoft's site on what WCF services are all about:

WCF is Microsoft's next-generation programming platform and runtime system for building, configuring and deploying network-distributed services.

Basically, if you are designing network-distributed services, you need them to be installed on a central server. This is especially true if you are communicating to mobile devices.
