The problem with your solution is that it would add an HTTP header. What you need is a SOAP header, however. That could be done like this...

using(new OperationContextScope(client.InnerChannel)) 
{
    // Add a SOAP Header to an outgoing request
    MessageHeader aMessageHeader = MessageHeader.CreateHeader("UserInfo", "http://tempuri.org", userInfo);
    OperationContext.Current.OutgoingMessageHeaders.Add(aMessageHeader);
}
