If your service is REST based, then you must have URL of the hosted service.

I have service url however directly adding reference to the solution is not working. No service is shown in visual studio browse window. When I run the same url in browser I could see the service running.

Try to add "Web Reference" rather than "Service Reference".

I tried doing that, however its a secured WCF service this is the reason its not allowing me to add via "web reference" as well. All the controls are disabled.
