You can use any port numbers that are open. The good thing about WCF is that it's highly configurable so you can easily configure your EndPoints in a .config file.

WCF is very forgiving for ports anyway. You can even share ports for different protocols.

As a general rule you'll want to use fairly large numbers to avoid stepping on common Windows/Protocol ports that's why most samples use 8000 and higher.
