WCF: The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded

When using WCF services you may get the following error: "The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded. To increase the quota, use the MaxReceivedMessageSize property on the appropriate binding element." This error is given because of size limits set to responses in your application configuration.

You need to increase the value of two limiting parameters: maxBufferSize and maxReceivedMessageSize. In my example these values are set to 5000000.

After increasing these values your service requests should work normally.
