To get you started, here's a simple example program using an "input mask" like you outlined:

#include <curses.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    char name[60];
    char phone[60];
    char addr[60];

    initscr();
    mvaddstr(0, 0, "name:");
    mvaddstr(1, 0, "phone:");
    mvaddstr(2, 0, "address:");

    mvgetnstr(0, 9, name, 59);
    mvgetnstr(1, 9, phone, 59);
    mvgetnstr(2, 9, addr, 59);

    endwin();
    // using curses ends here, so we can use `stdio` functions like
    // `printf()` again.

    printf("name: %s\n", name);
    printf("phone: %s\n", phone);
    printf("address: %s\n", addr);

    return 0;
}

Link this with a curses library suitable for your platform (on Linux, use -lncurses when compiling, on windows, get and link pdcurses).

I suggest you read the NCURSES Programming HOWTO for learning more about curses.
